Se discute cómo las dinámicas de circulación de los filmes participan en la elaboración de distintas memorias carcelarias. El trabajo propone así una lectura cruzada de procesos de construcción de memorias y de producción del valor simbólico de los filmes.

En este contexto, el artículo explora la construcción de una “ruta de la memoria” en la región de Valparaíso, a partir de la experiencia de los actores ciudadanos e institucionales que la llevan adelante. Para ello, se analizan las colaboraciones, prácticas y reivindicaciones que acompañan la materialización del proyecto en distintas localidades de la región.

This article examines the social uses of the notion of participation beyond an exclusively institutional dimension. Starting from the example of the transformation of Valparaíso’s former prison into a cultural space, initiated in 1999, this article studies participation in light of the fluctuating relationships to politics that different actors maintain. It examines how the former prison was transformed into a cause as part of a broader response to a neoliberal urban project and top-down practices. Further, this work analyzes the diverse experiences of commitment among the artists occupying the former prison, highlighting the tensions and dilemmas associated with the exercise of politics in a conflictual context.

Economic recovery policies were implemented in the 2000s, focusing on the sectors of heritage and tourism as well as the development of universities. The decommissioning of the former prison and its gradual transformation into a cultural park are concurrent with this process of urban transformation. This article explores the relationship between the prison and the city through the memories of Valparaiso's residents, suggesting that the ways in which people remember their proximity to the prison, associated with their experiences in the neighbourhood and its ongoing urban changes, brings to light the new social boundaries that are being produced.

Sur la base d’une enquête ethnographique menée en 2018, cet article porte sur la fabrique collective d’une « route de la mémoire » dans la région de Valparaiso. Il s’agit d’interroger le travail par lequel les lieux qui constituent les cadres spatiaux de la mémoire d’un passé violent sont pensés comme faisant partie d’un réseau, ainsi que les modalités de leur marquage physique et symbolique. Par-là, l’article propose de saisir les projets de mémorialisation à l’aune des enjeux de la justice spatiale et des ancrages territoriaux des groupes qui les mobilisent.

Il s’agira d’identifier les acteurs et logiques qui œuvrent au « transfert » de la prison du monde carcéral à la sphère du patrimoine, en produisant une valeur qui contraste avec sa connotation négative précédente, et qui à cet égard s’avère "dissonante". Loin de constituer un champ de coopération consensuel, cette construction entraîne des tensions entre positions différentes concernant les usages de l’espace. La co-construction patrimoniale dont l’Ex-cárcel est l’objet rejoint directement les débats sur la participation citoyenne locale ainsi que sur le travail artistique dans un contexte de précarité matérielle qui est celui de Valparaiso.

Asumiendo la territorialidad como uno de los " marcos sociales de la memoria " (Halbwachs), considero en primer lugar la inscripción memorial de la cárcel, particularmente en lo relativo a su dimensión urbana-barrial, explorando los alcances que esto plantea respecto a un imaginario político asociado al espacio. En segundo lugar, interrogo en qué medida los discursos relativos al estatuto de " Patrimonio de la humanidad "-con el que Valparaíso es investida en 2003 por la UNESCO-se conectan a los debates en torno a la rehabilitación del antiguo penal. Considerando las lógicas de patrimonialización y marketing urbano que intervienen Valparaíso, se pretende abrir perspectivas críticas sobre las articulaciones entre memoria y patrimonio en el Chile actual.

It was a blueprint for a cultural centre, planned to be built on the grounds of an old prison. This project was never implemented and caused serious discussions in the Chilean public sphere. The conversion of this prison into the "Former prison cultural park" coincides with the last phase of government of the centre-left political coalition created to defeat Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship (1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989). This paper will focus on how the conflict set off by the Niemeyer project reveals an official representation for the country in which "cultural infrastructure" plays a crucial and symbolic role. This process starts as an implicit cultural policy, set forth by institutions without any relation to "explicitly" cultural issues. This project provides an analytical opportunity to gain insight into the articulations between cultural policies and the economic model that has been operating in Chile since the dictatorship.
