My dissertation project broadly investigates the relationship of media to transnational human rights as well as opposition politics within states of repression. Specifically I am interested in how the rhetoric of transnational human rights campaigns and how uneven state repression offered moments for radical politics and leftist critiques to emerge in the discourse of resistance in Chile. Beginning with the bifurcation of media during the Allende administration and ending with the dissipation of the resistance media after the limited transition to democracy, my work spans more than 20 years from 1970 to the mid 1990s and will involve research in archives, museums, libraries, memory sites, and oral history interviews.
