Chile 1973
The months leading up to the coup d'état

Chile 1973. The months leading up to the coup d'état, this is the fourth and final volume in the MEMORIA A 40 AÑOS (Memory at 40 Years) series. Thirteen stories and a lecture that, from their individual perspectives and value, manage to reflect the emotions, ideas, actions, desires, and fears that permeated Chilean society in the six months preceding the coup d'état. 1973 was a ‘short year’ in terms of time – it began in March and ended in September – but vast in social subjectivity – due to the sensation of living it day by day. Months that seared the memory of a year. A memory that arises to question the history of that crucial year.
