Series televisivas y memorias sobre el pasado reciente en Chile. Aprendizajes y reflexiones

Abstract

Based on the viewing of television series about the recent past in Chile broadcast in the context of the commemoration of the 40 years of the coup, we reflect on the possibilities of construction and reconstruction of memories about that past that these proposals generate in three generations of viewers: those who experienced the coup, those who grew up in dictatorship and those who grew up in democracy. We conclude that these audiovisual productions, although they are not a proper historical story, manage to install certain socially relevant references and milestones whose base is historical, so they can be considered a useful instrument for the formative work of the new generations.
