Abstract

In this article I expand on the idea that Pedro Lemebel uses his writing as a device through which he disputes a space of representation for the subjectivities swept by violence, and denounces the important absences in the construction of the stories of Chilean dictatorship (1973- 1990). For this purpose I tackle the notions of memory and writing in relation to testimonial literary practices, and analyze a series of the author’s texts highlighting the favored discursive forms in the construction of the textual pieces and their political and historiographic implications.
