This article discusses the influence of the Pinochet dictatorship on the understanding of the commons in Chile, especially in terms of its social and civic expression. Following the course of the critical hermeneutics, the analysis focuses on two aspects of this influence: a) the legal aspect, which allows one type of social association while criminalizing another, and b) the economic aspect, which permeates the (self-)understanding of the individual as a subject who, in order to be free, must ensure that there is no external resistance to his or her actions. The results show the importance of interpretation and interpellation provided by the hermeneutic approach and the role of civil society in dynamizing social action and understanding the common.

In this essay we outline five constellations of poetic and visual practices, starting with the dictatorship in Chile (1973-1990), but connecting them with works from previous decades. Without wanting to be exhaustive, our intention is to show how poetry and related practices have shaped a creative response of counterattack and antithesis, as well as resistant ways of life through art at different times and areas of Chile.

Objective/Context: To propose an analytical reading of histories about the political-sexual violence unleashed in torture centers of the secret police (National Intelligence Directorate - dina) during the dictatorship in Chile (especially the period 1974-1976). The analysis unveils the psychosocial mechanisms of sadism that characterized the protagonists of this sexual violence. Methodology: The research is based on the monitoring and discursive analysis of “false” testimonies offered by some known torturers (Osvaldo Romo, Miguel Krassnoff, Ingrid Olderock) and disclosed in printed publications, audiovisual records and judicial documents released between 1990 (at the beginning of the first civilian transitional government) and 2014 (when the first lawsuits for sexual torture were filed). Originality: the article offers a psycho-political interpretation of political-sexual violence, presented as a product of a sadistic prostituting institution. It shows how this institution was operated by torturers whose “truth” was that of the perverse social and sexual contract of the dictatorship: a truth that also emerged regarding the “pact of silence” and denialism concealment in the mismatches implicit in their discourses. Conclusions: The analysis allows us to conclude that the socio-sexual contract of the dictatorship needed to foster, capture and feed on the sadism of the subjects hired as secret agents. It also shows how this contract normalized the sadistic apathos and the sexualized cruelty unleashed in spaces of exception (the clandestine detention and torture centers), from which the “normality” outside those spaces was imposed and reinforced as a project of authoritarian patriarchal domination.

For the past forty-two years Chile has been governed according to the infamous 1980 Constitution. Bequeathed to the country by its military dictator Augusto Pinochet, this text was originally designed to sustain an infinite de facto dictatorship in Chile. While this did not happen, and despite having been repeatedly amended since 1989, the 1980 Constitution is still considered an illegitimate text by most Chileans, as the 2020 Chilean national plebiscite has illustrated. The introduction provides a genealogy of the 1980 Constitution, explains the right-wing ideology underpinning it, and explores the scholarly debates over its supposed merits and the feasibility of its replacement with a new constitution.

The article analyzes experiences of female captivity that occurred within the framework of the civic-military dictatorships of the Latin American Southern Cone at the end of the 20th century, focusing on illegal kidnapping in clandestine centers and political imprisonment in prisons and detención camps in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile. For this purpose, we have analyzed specialized bibliography, testimonies published by former militants, interviews conducted by the authors and documentary sources produced by the revolutionary organizations.

This study is framed in the field of children poetry during the 1970s in Chile, taking as a reference the work of the musician and poet Sergio Vesely during his captivity in several detention centers of the military dictatorship. Starting from a critical and theoretical reading, I explored the articulation of symbolic imageries referring to dictatorial power transmitted to children through the metaphor of the king. This work aims to the rescue and making visible forgotten voices, contributing to the construction of a historical memory that integrates new pieces into the map of artistic creation arising from the prison experience in Chile. At the same time, the aim is to contribute to the necessary legitimation of the role of children in historical and social processes, in this case by exploring the imagery transmitted about the exercise of power during the early years of the Chilean dictatorship.

This article explores the feasibility of including the military dictatorship of General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo (Chile, 1927-1931) among Latin America's "classic" mid-twentieth century populist experiences. To that end, it focuses on its policies of labor legislation and working-class appeal, aimed at mitigating social conflicts through institutional co-optation and the expansion of State functions, invoking the restoration of a compromised "national unity." It uses administrative and journalistic sources from the time and concludes that ibañista strategies managed to attract considerable popular support, thus making them comparable, in terms of both its aims and its results, to more extensively studied cases of "classic populism".

This article presents a critical analysis of the historical, political and pedagogical path of special education, this analysis establishes a starting point when special education in Chile was seen as a simple modality or subsystem, and therefore invisible and with limited resources to his favor, until his institutional consolidation coincides with the Chilean dictatorship phase (1973-1990). From this historical finding, we discuss in depth aspects such as its clinical approach and focused on the abnormality, the various welfare policies for "sick" people, like was considered, the people with some type of disability. These dictatorship policies promoted differential groups in schools, the creation of diagnostic centers and microcenters and new private and municipal special schools that have created the architecture that persisted until recently in Chile. This situation will mark a whole generation of specialists and differential educators who would transmit this approach focused on the abnormality beyond the historical context analyzed and we believe that certain clinical elements still exist in the current diagnoses to accredit Special Educational Needs (SEN). The current system of promoting a new public and inclusive education promoted by the last center-left government of Michelle Bachelet (2014-2018) has contradicted the function and role that differential educators must play in Chilean schools from now on, since more and more students are integrated into traditional educational centers, "normal center", and they are in a moment of redefining the mission of these educators, if is necessary maintain their clinical and individual attention to students with SEN or they must turn 180° towards inclusive supports to all students and teachers in general.

During the commemoration of the fortieth anniversary of the military coup d'état in Chile, several new fiction programs that appeared on TV had repercussions in the public sphere. One of them was the series Los archivos del Cardenal. The case study of said series, which was considered good quality fiction, makes it possible to address the relation between TV fiction, memory and recent history. The series presents very select, simplified messages about history, but also makes it possible to illustrate real episodes in a captivating way and to visualize topics that had been silenced during the transition to democracy. Thus, this article shows that TV series are a format that complements the representation of the history of important events for a given society. Concretely, Los archivos del Cardenal constructs a story about the dictatorship from the viewpoint of the political opposition and proposes a collective memory in concordance with it.

The purpose of this article is to reconstruct and analyze the singular role the Catholic Church assumed both as a space and as a political actor during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in Chile. On the one hand, it examines the work of the Committed Christians during the national protest days initiated on a massive scale in May of 1983; and, on the other, it highlights the wealth of its archives for understanding the Chilean social protest that circumvented the censorship of the time. With this objective, the article presents information obtained through interviews of agents of ecclesiastic communities and leftist militants, as well documents, photos and reports conserved in its document archives. Finally, it concludes that the diverse initiatives undertaken to defend human rights and to regenerate the social fabric offered a solid institutional framework to break through the censorship and to articulate grassroots political practices during the period studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this essay I propose a radical demystification of the perceived image of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte's Chilean dictatorship as a period of uniform terror that suffocated all popular contestation. Based on the differentiation of repressive styles and the popular responses to them, I propose that this perceived image has been artificially constructed in order to hide the historical continuity between Pinochet's dictatorship and the current democratic regime. I relate this historic reconstruction to a more general thesis: I argue that there is an essential continuity between both political periods ruled by the deep dictatorial character of so-called current democratic regimes. To conclude I highlight the dictatorial mechanisms of current democracies as well as the political tasks that would allow for a progressive opposition to these same mechanisms.

Although the economic model was not decided, one of the tasks of the official publishing house for the Chilean dictatorship, Editora Nacional Gabriela Mistral (1973-1976), was to spread information about budding neoliberalism. This could not be achieved without banishing the language of --and identification with-- social classes, which was rooted in Chilean mentality. Using examples, this article explores how publications from the ENGM silenced and described social classes through themes such as folklore, anti-Marxism, national history or economics, thanks to its informative nature and to the procedural and cognitive possibilities of its texts. This paper proposes that as a latent subtext in those publications, the silencing of social classes could have been a metaphorical and aesthetic symptom of neoliberalism during the dictatorship, becoming in this manner a sign of its peculiar way to aestheticize politics.

This article deals with the relation between two aspects of the political history of Chile during the early years of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. On the one hand, the symbolic contents projected by the regime, which highlighted youth as a metaphor of the new order - a cult of youth: "efebolatría"-, and, on the other hand, the articulation In said context of a political network of youths who managed to position themselves in the highest level of government, the so-called "gremialistas". Thus, a study based on documents and oral testimony led to the conclusion that said relationship was fundamental in producing the political and doctrinal support for the dictatorship itself.

This article examines Jaime Ravinets' first two administrations as the mayor of Santiago (from 1990-1996), searching for continuities and breaks vis-a vis the model of municipal government devised by the military regime. This article holds that the municipal reform carried out by the Concertación governments was unable to alter the neo liberal, depoliticizing logic behind the dictatorial legacy. On the contrary, it confirmed the municipality's role as the entity in charge of unfolding the subsidiary State, focalizing actions against poverty and redefining the nature of politics. In the case of the Santiago district (which encompasses the city's downtown area), the communal rescue plan and Mayor Ravinet's neo-liberal leanings favored that process's advancement, displaying a neoliberally-inspired technocratic style of leadership that reinforced pre-existing trends toward the de-politicization and loss of citizen values among the area's residents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the process of selection and reproduction of the Chilean leftist political elite during the dictatorship. Methodologically, the article uses in-depth interviews based on biographical trajectories. More generally speaking, it aspires to understand how the reproduction dynamics of the elite would go on to configure a transitional political culture that would be characterized by the scarce vertical integration of actors coming from civil society and the tendency towards the horizontal reproduction among its own members through co-optation and the institutionalization of formal and informal agreements within its own groups by the decision of the most influential selectors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the main transformations and social consequences felt in Chile with the implementation of the neoliberal model during the military dictatorship. It also shows that faced with the new political and economical context, thousands of men and women took a leading part in a cycle of protests and processes of democratization and were finally left out of the political pact that defined the transition to democracy and the successive "Concertación" governments.

This article analyzes the relationship between the military regime of General Augusto Pinochet and Chile's popular sectors during the 1970's, questioning the common view that posits an exclusionary understanding between that government and the high bourgeoisie. The thesis sustains that Pinochet's dictatorship set out to co-opt the popular milieu, historically associated with center and left-wing politics, and that, therefore, its relationship with the "people" was not based solely on repression. The reason for this is that the "war" waged against Marxism had an ideological foundation, and thus required the re-socialization of those social actors. The international context and the economic crisis, likewise, reinforced people's political centrality as a legitimizing agent. From a conceptual standpoint, this article seeks to reconsider the model of the "Bureaucratic-Authoritarian State" applied to the military dictatorships of Latin America's Southern Cone, including the Chilean case.

This article is an inventory and analysis of Chilean Poetry in the seventies, written in Chile and abroad, emphasizing the "exilio" and "insilio" concept. Apart from focusing on the "exilio-insilio" problem, its development and subsequent integration, this work analyzes the relationships between poets and their environment by means of subjective representations in different situations and places (especially urban). The cities of Chile, as well as foreign cities in the countries of exile, acquire repressive connotations, which influence the problems of the divided subject in this poetry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For many critics and scholars the great novel of the dictatorship's period in Chile still remains a pending matter. This article, on the contrary, hypothesizes on the existence of a significant number of novels published in Chile between 1977 and 2006, which out of their fragmentary character and peculiarity give a proper account of the causes and consequences of the coup d'état held on September 11th 1973. The article seeks to set a preliminary basis for an epistemological discussion and further major research about the role of the Chilean novel, in the historical context of post modernity, during and after the dictatorship's era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes a study of subjectivity and of the various forms of socialization present in two poetical works by Diego Maquieira: La tirana y Los sea harrier. In La tirana the subjects are clearly marginalized and the social relationships are defined by violent collectivities or institutions: mafias and the Inquisition (this characteristics are portrayed as a political allegory of the Chilean dictatorship). In Los sea harrier, on the other hand, there are more articulate subjects and the social relations are also more formalized in armies which are fighting each other. Political allegory is also present in this book, but it deals now with the Chilean political transition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
