Memory, Space, and Territory in Dictatorship-era Chilean Literature

In this presentation, we will read a selection of short texts by Chilean authors published during Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship and the following transitional years. We will focus on how each author engages with themes such as memory, space, and territory, and how they represent, from diverse perspectives and experiences, different aspects of the dictatorial period.
