Abstract

The current pandemic-imposed reliance on media-centered forms of civic engagement underscores the need for empirical mediatization research on the relationship between media, partisan conflict, and political culture. Drawing from critical Latin American media scholarship, mediatization theory, and Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), this article proposes a framework for comparative political communication research that centers on media practices and sociocultural change. By analyzing how a 1988 political advertising campaign in dictatorial Chile instantiated a peculiar vision of democratic transition, this article provides an examination of the disjuncture between televised representations of cheerful political reconciliation and abominable human rights abuses as the initial stage in the mediatization of Chilean human rights memory (HRM).

智利人权记忆的媒介化

当前的疫情对以媒体为中心的公民参与形式的依赖，突显了对媒体、党派冲突和政治文化之间关系进行实证中介研究的必要性。本文借鉴批判性的拉丁美洲媒体学术、媒介化理论和文化历史活动理论，提出了一个以媒体实践和社会文化变革为中心的比较政治传播研究框架。通过分析1988年独裁的智利的一场政治广告活动如何体现了一种独特的民主过渡愿景，本文考察了电视上对愉快的政治和解和恶劣的侵犯人权行为的描述之间的脱节，这是智利人权记忆（HRM）调解的初始阶段。
