description | Four decades have passed since the Chilean Army was revolted against the government of Allende. Years pass, but individual and group memoirs –understood as discourses about the past– of this period remain belligerently contradictory, as evidenced by the dispute between the figures of Allende and Pinochet. We are concerned about this reality because young people who didn’t live the leaden years are ascribed –uncritically– to the dominant memory in their closest living space. Build a memory for the future, by increasing the dose of historical knowledge of young Chileans, could favor the recognition of internal political differences until making them compatible with a democratic coexistence of quality. |

Four decades have passed since the Chilean Army was revolted against the government of Allende. Years pass, but individual and group memoirs –understood as discourses about the past– of this period remain belligerently contradictory, as evidenced by the dispute between the figures of Allende and Pinochet. We are concerned about this reality because young people who didn’t live the leaden years are ascribed –uncritically– to the dominant memory in their closest living space. Build a memory for the future, by increasing the dose of historical knowledge of young Chileans, could favor the recognition of internal political differences until making them compatible with a democratic coexistence of quality. Han pasado cuatro décadas desde que el Ejército chileno se sublevó contra el Gobierno de Salvador Allende. Los años pasan, pero las memorias individuales y de grupo de ese período –entendidas como discursos sobre el pasado– continúan siendo beligerantemente contradictorias, como evidencia la controversia todavía existente entre las figuras de Allende y Pinochet. Esa realidad nos preocupa en la medida que los jóvenes que no vivieron los años de plomo se adscriben –de manera poco crítica–, a la memoria dominante en su espacio vital próximo. Construir una memoria para el futuro, incrementando la dosis de conocimiento histórico de los jóvenes chilenos, podría favorecer el reconocimiento de las diferencias políticas internas hasta hacerlas compatibles con una convivencia democrática de calidad.
