“Jane Christie's provocative study examines a pivotal point in a period of political
change in South America. It highlights the strategic appropriation of resonant
discourses around the maternal body and the continuation of life; the family and the
strengthening of community; the ethics of care; and the functions prescribed to female
political leaders that have inhibited their full engagement in a rights-based feminist
agenda. This is an exciting contribution to the growing discussion of female political
leaders in Latin America and is sure to stimulate debate.” — Raylene Ramsay,
University of Auckland
“Negotiating Gendered Discourses provides convincing evidence of the ways Cristina
Fernández and Michelle Bachelet skillfully negotiated culturally specific gender-coding
as they became the first elected women presidents of Argentina and Chile. Most
fascinating is the study’s juxtaposition of these two leaders´ framing of economic
policies designed for the majority of citizens: women. Christie’s feminist discourse
analysis of women and political power has larger implications for understanding
women’s leadership during crisis, and provides insight into strategies used by other
world leaders to soften their image, such as those of Angela Merkel in negotiating the
refugee crisis in Europe.”— Kathryn Lehman, The University of Auckland
ABOUT THE BOOK:
It has been argued that the first presidential campaign of Michelle Bachelet in Chile and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in Argentina used
a rhetoric of newness. Some political observers have said that as the “first women” to successfully run for the highest office in these
countries, they were presented as the new faces of democracy. These observers argued that gender was not a determining factor in their
electoral success, but the focus on this “first women” frame did generate heavily gendered criticisms of these two candidates. Negotiating
Gendered Discourses addresses these views by asking how the gender factor is negotiated when women from the Southern Cone of
Latin America run for high political office. In particular, Jane L. Christie examines how Bachelet and Fernández positioned themselves in
relation to the numerous women-led social movements, and in doing so, reveals points of intersection between these contemporary
political discourses and existing sources of female authority when negotiating complicated ideological debates about human rights, the
economy, and women’s rights.
