        Allende's Children

        Our history is memory. Collective biographies.

        by Myriam Carmen Pinto

        These stories and testimonies address experiences of struggles that took place within Chile during the Popular Unity government, the civil-military dictatorship, and the post-dictatorship period. Together, they construct a collective memory that reveals the repressive scaffolding of a terrorist state; individual and collective experiences, and lessons learned in exile; the process of rearticulating the social fabric and the return of the historical left; rejection of the model and environmental destruction and commodification of rights; the continued relevance of Allendism and new actors, including a human rights institutional framework, relatives of genocidal perpetrators, citizenship, and a living memorial militancy for truth, justice, the value of democracy, and social peace

        La hermandad de la Casa Grande (The brotherhood of the Big House)

        Una novela negra sobre el juicio del Estado a los brujos de Chiloé (A detective novel about the state's trial of the witches of Chiloé)

        by Eduardo Pérez Arroyo

        It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.

        Gabriela Mistral. The poets have chosen you

        by Gabriela Mistral

        “Poets reading and choosing Mistral's poetry”. Something unique, in that this reading makes it possible to design for the first time an architecture of Gabriela Mistral's poetry from her various books, constructed by the poets themselves. It is a novel selection, where poetry becomes central and endogenous, to acquire a greater vitality since her work stands out through the reading made by great Chilean poets, such as Raúl Zurita, Óscar Hahn, Carmen Berenguer, Andrés Morales, Jaime Quezada, Teresa Calderón, Eugenia Brito, Soledad Fariña, Damaris Calderón, Horacio Eloy and Héctor Hernández Montecinos.

        Magazines and literary publications during the dictatorship in Chile (1973–1990)

        by Horacio Eloy

        The publication of this book is the culmination of a long process. In it, I have sought to convey, albeit partially, the history of certain literary publications and to allow them to speak for themselves in their context, in the press of the time, in interviews, reviews, and commentaries, recounting their evolution through their editorials, poems, manifestos, stories, and chronicles—in short, in the words of their creators, many of whom remain faithful to the “craft” they began in those days. As Horacio Eloy points out, Revistas y publicaciones literarias en dictadura (1973-1990) provides a general overview of the period, offering an interesting journey through all the publications produced from Arica to Punta Arenas. This research will undoubtedly become essential reference material for those who wish to learn about the role that culture played during this bloody period.
