Author: Nelly Richard

A complex portrait of postdictatorial Chile by one of that country’s most incisive cultural critics, this book uses memoirs, photographs, the plastic arts, novels, and other texts—the “residues” of a culture—to analyze the political-cultural Chilean landscape in the wake of Augusto Pinochet’s seventeen-year military rule. Such residual areas reveal the flaws and lapses in Chile’s transition from violent military dictatorship to electoral democracy.

Nelly Richard's analysis ranges from an exploration of false memories of the recent past—especially memories of violence—to a discussion of the university under neoliberalism; from debates about the use of the word “gender” to an examination of refractory texts and cultural activities such as Diamela Eltit’s “testimonio” of a schizophrenic vagabond, Eugenio Dittborn’s use of photography in art installations, and transvestite performances. In Cultural Residues, each instance becomes a suggestive metaphor for understanding a rapidly modernizing Chile attempting to re-democratize its public life.

Cultural Residues: Chile In Transition 1st Table of contents:

I. Policies and Politics of Memory, Techniques of Official Routines

• Cites/Sites of Violence: Convulsions of Sense and Official Routines
  • (This chapter likely explores how the memory of violence during the dictatorship is officially managed or suppressed, and the resulting societal impact.)
• Torments and Obscenities
  • (Focuses on the difficult and often disturbing aspects of Chile's past that resist easy integration into public discourse.)

II. The Popular and the Urban: Scenic Fragments

• Neobaroque Debris: Scabs and Decorations
  • (Examines the aesthetic and cultural expressions in urban spaces, possibly linking them to a "neobaroque" style that reflects Chile's post-dictatorial condition.)
• The Congealment of the Pose and Urban Velocities
  • (Analyzes how identities and cultural forms become rigid or fluid within the rapidly changing urban environment.)
• Dismantlings of Identity, Perversions of Codes
  • (Discusses the breakdown of traditional identities and the re-coding of social norms in a post-dictatorship, neoliberal context.)

III. Academic Borders and Hybrid Knowledges

• The Academic Citation and Its Others
  • (A critique of academic practices and the exclusion of non-traditional forms of knowledge or marginalized voices within academic discourse.)
• Antidiscipline, Transdiscipline, and the Redisciplining of Knowledge
  • (Explores the shifts and tensions within academic disciplines, particularly in cultural studies, as they grapple with interdisciplinary approaches and evolving power dynamics.)

IV. Polemics and Transvestisms

• The Graphic Model of an Advertising Identity
  • (Examines how commercial and advertising aesthetics influence the construction of national or collective identities.)
• Turbulence, Anachronism, and Degenerations
  • (Addresses the disruptive and sometimes regressive aspects of Chile's transition, including anachronistic ideas or practices that persist.)
• Gender, Values, and Difference(s)
  • (Delves into the debates around gender and other forms of difference, and how they are negotiated or contested in the changing social landscape.)

V. Points of Flight and Lines of Escape

• Take the Sky by Assault: Political Transgression and Flight of Metaphors
  • (Focuses on acts of political resistance and the use of metaphorical language to challenge dominant narratives.)
• For Love of Art: Critical Ruptures and Flights of Fancy
  • (Explores how artistic practices create spaces for critique and imagination, offering alternatives to official or neoliberal discourses.)
