The new stories of the daughters, 50 years after the Chilean military coup

The following article offers a picture of the context and works that, 50 years after the military coup in Chile, continue to put together the puzzle of collective memory. It addresses above all the ‘literature of daughters’, and the characteristics that the authorship of women gives to these stories. Finally analyses the essayistic-testimonial text La resaca de la memoria , by Verónica Estay Stange, to highlight a distanced regarding to the discourse of the victims, the need to rethink the subjectivities and bodies affected by state violence and the aesthetic and ethical forms with which family disobedience is tackled, both in the case of those who are descendants of repressors, as well as the children of those they suffered the repression firsthand.
