Subsequent efforts to come to terms with the national trauma have resulted in an outpouring of fiction  art  film  and drama. In this ethnography  Macarena Gmez-Barris examines cultural sites and representations in postdictatorship Chilewhat she calls \"memory symbolics\"to uncover the impact of state-sponsored violence. She surveys the concentration camp turned memorial park  Villa Grimaldi  documentary films  the torture paintings of Guillermo Nez  and art by Chilean exiles  arguing that two contradictory forces are at work: a desire to forget the experiences and the victims  and a powerful need to remember and memorialize them. By linking culture  nation  and identity  Gmez-Barris shows how those most affected by the legacies of the dictatorship continue to live with the presence of violence in their bodies  in their daily lives  and in the identities they pass down to younger generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44963215540277,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520255844","price":65.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520255845.jpg?v=1770408985","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/where-memory-dwells-culture-and-state-violence-in-chile","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
