Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate written literature within the cultural field related to the dictatorship during the eighties decade.

In that sense, our analysis points to reveal how the forms of representation used in the production of these texts, mainly those focused on the configuration of the subject and his environment, depict this distance and show the angular conflict within the Chilean authoritarian thinking.
