Políticas de reparación para campesinos y obreros agrícolas «exonerados de la tierra» en Chile
Este artículo analiza la política de reparaciones para campesinos «exonerados» de los predios de la reforma agraria (1964-1973), su incorporación a la categoría de exonerados políticos de la Ley 19.234 de 1993 y sus modificaciones posteriores. Las políticas aplicadas en Chile después del golpe de Estado de 1973 por la Junta de Gobierno Militar para desmantelar el proceso de reforma agraria excluyeron progresivamente a diversos grupos de campesino…

Human Rights Violations in Latin America
Mujeres embarazadas víctimas de tortura en Chile
En Chile, desde los inicios de la república, las amnistías después de guerras civiles y conflictos violentos fueron el fundamento de la reconciliación política. La transición política iniciada en 1990 se propuso establecer la verdad sobre las violaciones de los derechos humanos cometidas durante la dictadura, reconocer y reparar a las víctimas y hacer justicia en la medida de lo posible, a pesar de la vigencia de la amnistía de 1978. En este artí…
Testimonio
En procesos de transición política, de dictaduras y guerras civiles a gobiernos elegidos por vía democrática, los testimonios de víctimas han sido herramientas de denuncia que han dado lugar a procesos de reconocimiento y reparación en contextos judiciales, terapéuticos y de investigación social. También son fundamento para la construcción de memorias de personas y comunidades. Describimos el testimonio como una herramienta terapéutica de experie…
Political Technologies of Memory
This article contributes to understanding the role of technologies during political violence and in transitional justice contexts, studying a case that was contemporaneous with the transnational construction of human rights activism. Examining documentation technologies that sustained nonviolent civic resistance to state terrorism during Chile’s Augusto Pinochet dictatorship (1973–1990), the article highlights the role of technology in creating t…

Human Rights Violations
Forty years after the coup of 1973, the death of President Salvador Allende Gossens, and the beginning of a seventeen-year period (1973-90) of human rights violations by the military dictatorship, it is time to turn attention from a Santiago-centric history and relate the regional and local histories of the dictatorship. This article examines the history and social memory of dictatorship constructed in the Magellan region of Chile since 1973, fro…
Trauma, duelo, reparación y memoria
The article describes and reflects on the experience of psychosocial and therapeutic work carried out with victims of human rights violations during the military regime in Chile (1973-1990). This experience contributed to the inclusion of medical and psychological care in the State reparation policies since 1990. The evolution in the modes of treatment and psychosocial intervention are discussed in the light of the tasks and dilemmas which emerge…

Violence, fear, and impunity
Human rights violations in the context of state-sponsored violence create a culture of death, terror, and violence, and the consequences remain in the countries' institutions and in the psyche and the body of the people themselves. Can it be possible to build a culture of peace if the legacy of a culture of death and terror is still alive? This article focuses on the psychological effects of these cultures of death and violence in Latin America a…

She describes the fear and disruption brought about by so many years of military violence and repression, and the processes which it is hoped can help rehabilitate affected communities, particularly focussing on the psychosocial implications of giving people the chance …

Therapy with Victims of Political Repression in Chile
This article describes the work of a mental health team confronting the individual and social consequences of human rights violations by the military government in Chile from 1973 through 1989. It examines three forms of repression—torture, disappearance, and death—and the consequences these have had for victims and family members. Damage to victims is conceptualized in terms of “extreme traumatization,” and psychotherapeutic work with the victim…
