Publisher Description

Resumen. Este articulo subraya la necesidad del testimonio--decir que que hay que decir sobre las experiencias traumaticas--, particularmente en paises que deben enfrentar el legado del terror, como Chile, Argentina y Uruguay. El testimonio es presentado como una manera de rearmar la subjetividad destruida por la "fabrica de muerte". Tejas Verdes (1978), escrito por el chileno Hernan Valdes luego de sufrir la tortura sistematica, es analizado como uno de los ejemplos de los efectos de la exclusion y degradacion radicales. En America del Norte, los debates sobre el testimonio han llegado a un impasse luego de mas de una decada de intensa discusion teorica. En el Cono Sur, el interes por la memoria y el testimonio se han desarrollado especialmente desde el ano 2000. Con la nueva agenda centrada en los derechos humanos, los gobiernos de estos paises se ocupan no solo de llevar ante la justicia a los responsables de los crimenes contra la humanidad, sino tambien de los aspectos simbolicos y culturales de su siniestro pasado. Abstract. This article underscores the need for testimony--the saying of what should be said about traumatic experiences--particularly in countries such as Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay, faced with a legacy of terror. Testimony is presented as a way to reassemble subjectivity left in shambles by the "death factory". Tejas Verdes (1978), written by Chilean writer Hernan Valdes after suffering systematic torture, is analyzed as one example of the effects of radical exclusion and degradation. In North America the debates on testimony have reached an impasse after more than a decade of intense theoretical discussion. In the Southern Cone the interest on memory and testimony has developed, especially after the year 2000. With the new agenda focusing on human rights, these governments are finally dealing not only with the legal prosecution of those responsible for crimes against humanity but also with the symbolic and cultural aspects of this sinister past.
