Gritos, susurros y silencios dictatoriales. La historiografía chilena y la dictadura pinochetista

Este articulo revisa la produccion historiografica chilena respecto de la dictadura, liderada por el general Augusto Pinochet. El articulo sostiene que el periodo dictatorial no ha generado en Chile un campo/area de estudios consistente y que perdure en el tiempo, pues la atencion ha estado concentrada mas bien en su proyeccion a la post dictadura y las responsabilidades de los gobiernos civiles en sus continuidades, como en las vias de construccion al socialismo y la experiencia chilena de la Unidad Popular. Tal derrotero se relaciona con el debate politico en Chile sobre el desmontaje de esa herencia. Ello ha incidido en una produccion desbalanceada, con temas excesivamente analizados, otros de menos repercusion y muchos mas, abandonados. Gritos, susurros y silencios son las metaforas que expresan tales tendencias. Palabras clave: Dictadura. Historiografia. Chile. Pinochet. Abstract: This article reviews the historiography concerning the Chilean dictatorship led by General Augusto Pinochet.  It claims that the dictatorial period has not established, at least in Chile, a consistent and sustained field of studies, as attention has tended to focus more on its repercussions in the post-dictatorial period and the complicities of civilian governments on such continuities, as well as on the different "roads" to socialism and the experience of the Popular Unity.  These emphases are connected to Chile's current political debates about the feasibility or desirability of dismantling Pinochet's legacies, with their attendant incidence on an unbalanced historiographic production: some topics have been analized in excess, others have received less attention, and many more have been simply ignored.  Shouts, whispers and silences are the metaphors here employed to convey those tendencies.
