Opis

This book explores how the Chilean «transition to democracy» has been narrated in film, focusing on the imaginative afterlives of anticapitalist and antidictatorship resistance. Documentary and fiction films which explore «haunting» in the present past are analysed, contributing to a field of research on post-conflict transitions.
