<p>The paper discusses the issue of sexual violence against women during the past military dictatorships in Latin America, especially in Argentina, and some consequences in the current practice of their sexual and reproductive rights. It analyzes the extent the exercise of sexuality has a connection with the exercise of power, which organizes, manages, and prioritizes behavior depending on a political, social and cultural project, in a context of time and space. This means that the public and private, power and sexuality depend on the idea of the nation, class, race and religion, and consequently implies the political control of reproduction and the family model, including expressions of gender sexual violence. The paper discusses feminist theoretical concepts, such as the concept of gender and nation from an intersectional perspective (Yuval Davis), the idea of post colonialism and decolonization of feminism (Mohanty), and the relationship between gender and globalization (Fraser).</p> <hr /><p>Este art&iacute;culo debate el tema de la violencia sexual contra las mujeres durante las &uacute;ltimas dictaduras militares en Am&eacute;rica Latina, especialmente el caso argentino y sus efectos en el ejercicio actual de los derechos sexuales. En &eacute;l se analiza c&oacute;mo el ejercicio de la sexualidad tiene una relaci&oacute;n con el poder, el cual organiza, gestiona, y jerarquiza conductas seg&uacute;n un proyecto pol&iacute;tico, social y cultural, en un contexto determinado. Lo p&uacute;blico y lo privado, el poder y la sexualidad en relaci&oacute;n a los conceptos de patria, clase, raza y religi&oacute;n, y con ello el control pol&iacute;tico de la reproducci&oacute;n y del modelo de familia, y de la violencia sexual. En el an&aacute;lisis se discuten concepciones te&oacute;ricas feministas, como el concepto de g&eacute;nero y naci&oacute;n desde la perspectiva interseccional de Yuval Davis, la idea de postcolonialidad y descolonizaci&oacute;n del feminismo de Mohanty, y la relaci&oacute;n entre g&eacute;nero y globalizaci&oacute;n de Fraser.</p> <p><strong>DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN</strong>: <a href="http://ssrn.com/abstract=2611061" target="_blank">http://ssrn.com/abstract=2611061</a></p>
