WALDMAN, Gilda. Forty Years after the Military Coup in Chile: Reflections on Commemorations and Memories. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2014, vol.59, n.221, pp.243-265. ISSN 0185-1918.

The commemoration of the Fortieth anniversary of the coup d'etat in Chile in September 2013 was unexpectedly intense; even so that it forced a critical revision of the last four decades of Chilean history. Like never before in past commemorations, memory was, in many ways, the central theme of the cultural-political debate, which motivated society to make a conscience examination in order to face the individual, as well as the collective, responsibilities around the coup and the dictatorship that emerged from it. This text explores some of the reasons that guided said explosion of memory, marking a crucial turn in recent Chilean history.

Palabras llave : Chile; forty years; commemoration; memory; coup d'etat.
