Abstract(s)
Los aniversarios de los treinta y de los cuarenta años del golpe de Estado que instaló la
dictadura de Pinochet en Chile han sido acompañados por una especie de “boom” autobiográfico
y memorialista. Tantas figuras políticas conocidas como exmilitantes de los sesenta
y setenta han dado a conocer sus relatos de vida en formato de libros, entrevistas y
películas. Este artículo examina las autorrepresentaciones de dos autobiógrafos chilenos,
Max Marambio (ex-MIR) y Eugenio Tironi (ex-MAPU), que han abandonado sus posiciones
radicales de izquierda convirtiéndose en lo que hoy en Chile se conoce como izquierdistas
“renovados” (es decir, un izquierdismo que opera dentro de la lógica del mercado
neoliberal). ¿Cómo cuentan sus vidas y justifican sus metamorfosis subjetivas? El artículo
cierra con un examen del discurso de Marco Enríquez-Ominami, hijo del líder legendario del MIR (Miguel Enríquez) y dos veces candidato a la presidencia (2009 y 2013), cuya vida dramatiza tanto la problemática de la izquierda en la postdictadura como la tensión que surge al pensar entre épocas.
The thirtieth and fortieth anniversaries of General Pinochet’s military coup in Chile have been accompanied by an explosion of autobiographical and memoir writing. Well-known political figures and former radical leftist militants of the 1960s and 1970s have published their life stories in book, interview, and film formats. This article examines self representations by two Chilean autobiographers, Max Marambio (ex MIR) and Eugenio Tironi (ex MAPU), who have abandoned their radicalized positions of the revolutionary era and have become what in Chile today are known as “renovated leftists”, that is, leftists who embrace the neoliberal free market. How do these subjects narrate and justify their subjective metamorphoses? The article concludes with an analysis of Marco Enríquez- Ominami, the son of legendary MIR leader Miguel Enríquez and twice a candidate for the presidency (in 2009 and 2013 respectively). His life dramatizes the problems the Chilean left has faced in the postdictatorship period as well as the tensions that arise when a subject attempts to think between epochs.
