FOR-GET: Identity, Media, and Democracy in Chile

by CLAUDIA BUCCIFERRO

The election of Michelle Bachelet, the first female president of Chile, brought to the public sphere topics such as gender, inequality, and the legacy of seventeen years of military rule. Former dictator Augusto Pinochet instructed Chileans to “for-get” and move on, but this is complicated because individual and collective identities are anchored in memory and articulated through discourse.

This book reveals the incongruity between what current media say...
