GARRIDO GAMBOA, Juan Carlos  and  SIMONETTO, Patricio. Between Regulations and Dissents. Sexual Politics in Argentina and Chile during the 20th Century. Latinoamérica [online]. 2019, n.69, pp.99-126. ISSN 2448-6914.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cialc.24486914e.2019.69.57108.

This work proposes a comparative study of sexual policies in Chile and Argentina, in two aspects: first, the laws of urban restriction towards dissident sexual practices and, second, the resistance from political organizations since the 1930s. Violent legislation against sexual dissent and the transition to democracy in both countries opened the debate about disputes over the sexed nature of citizenship and questions about the prevailing laws. Based on this approach of comparative history and the review of documentary and bibliographic sources, the complexity in the application and acceptance of sexual policies is checked.
