Transiciones de lo real

Abstract

Both the dictatorships of Argentina (1976-1983), Uruguay (1973-1985) and Chile (1973-1990), as well as the return to democracy in the three countries, presented contrasting features and scenarios in relation to transitional justice processes on the crimes of the dictatorship, memory policies and negotiated solutions. Expanding on the notion of transition alluded to by these processes of restoration of democratic governments, in 2020 the book Transitions of the Real: Political, aesthetic and technological transformations in the documentary of Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, edited by Paola Margulis was published. This review examines its proposal and covers the main aspects of the published articles.
