En el borde del mundo
Juan Guzmán conoce en su juventud un Chile hospitalario, de costumbres ancestrales y provinciano. Luego de recibirse de abogado vive el París de 1968, hace sus primeros intentos literarios y decide encauzarse en el mundo del derecho. Regresa a un Chile en plena ebullición política, social y económica. El socialismo llega al poder a través de las urnas, pero lo interrumpe el golpe militar de 1973. Durante la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet, Guzmán se desempeña como juez. Al retornar la democracia ya es miembro de la Corte de Apelaciones de Santiago, y en 1998 comienza a instruir los procesos criminales contra el general Pinochet, quien ha sido desaforado y sometido a proceso en dos causas instruidas por el juez Guzmán.
Au bord du monde
Juan Guzman est issu d'une des familles les plus anciennes du Chili. Son père était un écrivain diplomate, ami de Borges, de Neruda et de Saint-John Perse. Enfant, Juan parle de longues heures avec la poétesse chilienne Gabriela Mistral, prix Nobel de littérature. Se rêvant romancier, il débarque à Paris, de chambres de bonne en petits emplois, avide de rencontres littéraires. Tourmenté, Juan Guzman passe plusieurs années à chercher un but à sa vie, traversant une crise métaphysique. " J'étais un égaré ", confie-t-il. C'est en devenant juge qu'il trouve la paix. Nommé par Allende, alors que sa famille est marquée à droite, il débute sa carrière dans le Chili reculé des...

Media, Memory, and Human Rights in Chile
Sorensen investigates the manner in which Chilean media and public culture discuss human rights violations committed during the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) as well as human rights problems which still exist.
The Condor Trials
Stories of transnational terror and justice illuminate the past and present of South America’s struggles for human rights. Through the voices of survivors, human rights activists, judicial actors, and experts, The Condor Trials unravels the secrets of transnational repression masterminded by South American dictators between 1969 and 1981. Under Operation Condor, the regimes of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay closely monitored hundreds of exiles and kidnapped, tortured, murdered, or forcibly returned them to their countries of origin. This cross-border network designed to silence opposition in exile transformed South America into a borderless zone of terror and impunity. Francesca Lessa shows how, gradually, transnational networks of activists materialized and effectively transcended national borders to achieve justice for the victims of these horrors. Based on extensive fieldwork, archival research, trial ethnography, and over 100 interviews, The Condor Trials explores South America’s past and present and sheds light on ongoing struggles for justice as its societies come to terms with the unparalleled atrocities of their not-so-distant pasts.
Latent Memory
Generations of marginalized Jewish immigrants and refugees migrated to Chile during the first half of the twentieth century, only to live through persecution during Pinochet's military coup. Maxine Lowy asks how individuals and institutions may overcome fear, indifference, and convenience to take a stand even under intense political duress.
Pinochet and Me
Marc Cooper recalls his escape from the tightening grip of the Pinochet junta and his subsequent return visits to a country that is still groping towards democratic recovery.
The General’s Slow Retreat
In her acclaimed book Soldiers in a Narrow Land, Mary Helen Spooner took us inside the brutal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Carrying Chile’s story up to the present, she now offers this vivid account of how Chile rebuilt its democracy after 17 years of military rule—with the former dictator watching, and waiting, from the sidelines. Spooner discusses the major players, events, and institutions in Chile’s recent political history, delving into such topics as the environmental situation, the economy, and the election of Michelle Bachelet. Throughout, she examines Pinochet’s continuing influence on public life as she tells how he grudgingly ceded power, successfully fought investigations into his human rights record and finances, kept command of the army for eight years after leaving the presidency, was detained on human rights charges, and died without being convicted of any of the many serious crimes of which he was accused. Chile has now become one of South America’s greatest economic and political successes, but as we find in The General’s Slow Retreat, it remains a country burdened with a painful past.
The Pinochet Effect
The 1998 arrest of General Augusto Pinochet in London and subsequent extradition proceedings sent an electrifying wave through the international community. This legal precedent for bringing a former head of state to trial outside his home country signaled that neither the immunity of a former head of state nor legal amnesties at home could shield participants in the crimes of military governments. It also allowed victims of torture and crimes against humanity to hope that their tormentors might be brought to justice. In this meticulously researched volume, Naomi Roht-Arriaza examines the implications of the litigation against members of the Chilean and Argentine military governments and trac...
