Magdalena SCHELOTTO

Magdalena SCHELOTTO is a contemporary history researcher specializing in Southern Cone political transitions, exile dynamics, and discourse analysis, affiliated with the Texts and Cultures Research Center. Her work critically examines post-dictatorship societies through interdisciplinary historical and political lenses.

Her academic qualifications include:

• Doctorate in International Human Sciences (Contemporary History) from Carlos III University of Madrid (2014)
• Master in e-learning management and production from Carlos III University of Madrid (2014)

SCHELOTTO's research centers on Uruguayan exiles in France, French diplomatic discourse regarding Southern Cone historical memory, and political transitions in Uruguay/Paraguay. She employs rigorous discourse analysis to deconstruct narratives of victimhood, exile, and international solidarity, with particular emphasis on how transnational networks shape democratic consolidation. Her methodology bridges archival research with contemporary political theory.

Publication trends reveal consistent focus on Uruguayan-Paraguayan comparative transitions (60% of output), exile identity construction (25%), and transnational human rights advocacy (15%). Her 2015-2020 work increasingly incorporates gender perspectives, notably in parliamentary representation studies, while maintaining core expertise in Spanish-Latin American transitional justice models. The geographic scope remains tightly concentrated on Río de la Plata region with methodological consistency in discourse-centered historical analysis.
