Scopes of gender perspective within Chilean cultural policy

Abstract

Given the growing interest of States in including gender perspective into their public policies, it is necessary to construct a parameter that allows us to understand what kind of gender discourse emerges from government institutions. Through the methodological contributions of Social Representation Theory and Genre and Register Theory, the cultural policies of the Chilean State are analyzed, in order to identify forms of representation of women as creators and cultural managers, taking into account contextual factors that have marked each period in which they have emerged.
