Abstract(s)
Este trabajo se centra en la novela Av. 10 de julio Huamachuco (2007) de la escritora chilena
Nona Fernández (1971) que ofrece una aguda mirada sobre el Santiago post-dictatorial y
que plasma la necesidad de testimoniar una realidad silenciada.
Chile es presentado a menudo como el milagro económico en el discurso neoliberal de
los medios de comunicación internacionales. Lo que falta, sin embargo, en esta visión
unidimensional de la realidad es el aspecto humano (afectos, ideales, utopías) que no
se mide necesariamente en términos cuantitativos. Las huellas de la corrosiva violencia
dejadas por la dictadura militar aparecen y reaparecen en la sociedad contemporánea
representada por Fernández. La estrategia narrativa de Av. 10 de julio Huamachuco consiste
en desestabilizar los discursos dominantes de la historia oficial y en establecer un diálogo
con el pasado traumático.
