¿Nada más que la memoria de la época pinochetista? Hacia un nuevo panorama de la narrativa chilena posdictatorial en torno a la realidad sociopolítica

Abstract

The memory of a dictatorial past continues to be one of the main referents in postdictatorial Chilean literature. However, an interest on the part of writers in the sociopolitical realities has not only served retrospective understandings, but expanded contemporary Chilean sociopolitical reality; such as, feminism criticism, estallido social and its social demands, or indeed the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the present paper proposes an outline of the current panorama of the post-dictatorial Chilean narrative which has emerged from sociopolitical reality of a country, in which reflections on the past cedes to a need to confront the challenges of the Chilean present.
