In the current report the way in wich urban memory excercises are articulated is discussed, posicionating literature into Memory squabbles, where you can see the past with no solution and react to the hegemonic narratives wich were pretending to settle after the civic-military dictatorship (1973-1990). For as much as, the drama ' The palace of the laughter' is analyzed, text published in 1994 where Germán Marin rebuild Villa Grimaldi's story, space used by Pinochet regime as a detention, torture and extermination centre, called Terranova Fortress. From the ruins of a wasteland in a postdictatorial present, a traumatic memory is being unveiled which politician transition wanted to forget. The analysis adds theoretical and critical literature on the same subject, with the objective of reflecting on how the literature of post-dictatorship adheres to these political-social movements that dispute certain places where crimes occurred in dictatorship, but at the same time achieve develop a story which gives meaning to this terrains nowadays, turning them into ‘’ Memory spaces’’ as the actual Villa Grimaldi, that works as a symbol that fights to stablish memory. |
