In this ethnography, Macarena G\u00f3mez-Barris examines  cultural sites and representations in postdictatorship Chile\u2014what she  calls &#8220;memory symbolics&#8221;\u2014to uncover the impact of state-sponsored  violence. She surveys the concentration camp turned memorial park, Villa  Grimaldi, documentary films, the torture paintings of Guillermo N\u00fa\u00f1ez,  and art by Chilean exiles, arguing that two contradictory forces are at  work: a desire to forget the experiences and the victims, and a powerful  need to remember and memorialize them. By linking culture, nation, and  identity, G\u00f3mez-Barris shows how those most affected by the legacies of  the dictatorship continue to live with the presence of violence in their  bodies, in their daily lives, and in the identities they pass down to  younger generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Macarena G\u00f3mez-Barris The 1973 military coup in Chile deposed the democratically elected Salvador Allende and installed a dictatorship that terrorized the country for almost twenty years.
