Giunta's research work focuses on Argentine, Latin American, and international art from the postwar period to the present. The axis of her contributions lies in the power of images, their political uses, as well as in the debates they provoke in different contexts. In this sense, she has analyzed the internationalization processes of Argentine and Latin American art in the context of the Cold War in its Latin American theater, characterized by the Cuban Revolution, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Alliance for Progress. She has also examined the controversies that the works of artist León Ferrari produced within the Argentine church, and made a particular study of "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso, and the power that the work has built in its tours of different museums and galleries of the world. Her research also deals with the visual strategies of images in relation to human rights and dictatorships, particularly in Argentina. She has developed research on gender studies since the early 1990s, and has included a feminist perspective since the 2010 exhibit "Radical Women. Latin American Art, 1960-1985" (Hammer Museum and Brooklyn Museum, 2017, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, 2018).
