BECOMING A (GAY)SEX RESEARCHER IN LATIN AMERICA

Devenir investigador (homo)sexual en América Latina

Abstract

The production of knowledge about (homo)sexualities in Chile has been a process that has involved a double movement.  On the one hand, that of a gay research subject coming out of the closet to produce knowledge on (homo)sexualities and, on the other hand, that of the displacement of the psychological discipline to enter the interdisciplinary field. 

And this double movement cannot be recounted in the third person: it is the research subject in the first person who describes how and in what way this movement has been. 

Therefore, in this article I will relate in the first person this double movement against the backdrop of the Latin American Center for Sexuality and Human Rights (CLAM) as the referential and anchoring space of these movements.
