EIDAHL has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Patrick M. Barr-Melej Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT EIDAHL, BRAD T., Ph.D., December 2017, History Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile Director of Dissertation: Patrick M. Barr-Melej This dissertation examines the struggle between Chile’s opposition press and the dictatorial regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte (1973-1990). It argues that due to Chile’s tradition of a pluralistic press and other factors, and in bids to strengthen the regime’s legitimacy, Pinochet and his top officials periodically demonstrated considerable flexibility in terms of the opposition media’s ability to publish and distribute its products. However, the regime, when sensing that its grip on power was slipping, reverted to repressive measures in its dealings with opposition-media outlets. Meanwhile, opposition journalists challenged the very legitimacy Pinochet sought and further widened the scope of acceptable opposition under difficult circumstances. Ultimately, such resistance contributed to Pinochet’s defeat in the 1988 plebiscite, initiating the return of democracy.

Magister en Arte, Pensamiento y Cultura Latinoamericanos Instituto de Estudios Avanzados, Universidad de Santiago de Chile [email protected] Recibido: 7/ 7/2020 Aceptado: 5/ 8/2020 Publicado: 31/ 8/2020 Resumen: Mediante el análisis de un evento musical pionero de la solidaridad internacional con Chile tras el Golpe de 1973, el presente artículo busca aproximarse a los mecanismos de omisión que surgen ante la falta de una inscripción histórica concreta. La necesidad de trabajar esta memoria (Jelin, 2002), las paradojas del internacionalismo artístico investigadas por Giunta –particularmente, el que involucra a Latinoamérica y Estados Unidos– (2008), las comunidades musicales imaginadas (Born y Hesmondhalgh, 2000) de la Nueva Canción Chilena y el folk revival estadounidense, encarnadas en la relación de Víctor Jara y Phil Ochs, son los marcos que utilizamos para establecer la urgencia de poner en valor y tensionar este evento para así activar una red de otras acciones similares que aún no encuentran espacio en la actualidad. Palabras clave: música popular, solidaridad, Nueva Canción Chilena, folk revival, concierto benéfico. Abstract: By analyzing a pioneering musical event of international solidarity with Chile after the 1973 coup, this article approaches the mechanisms of omission that arise in the absence of a concrete historical inscription.

HUMAN RIGHTS, CHILE AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS Thoreau, in his 1849 essay, "Civil Disobedience," wrote that "the State never intentionally confronts a man's sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, his senses. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but with superior physical strength."' Thoreau recognized the effect of state tyranny on humanity. Though an anarchist then,2 he might be in favor of an international legal regime for the protection of human rights today.8 1. Thoreau, Civil Disobedience, in THOREAU: WALDEN AND OTHER WRITINGS 85, 97 (J. W. Krutch ed. 1962). 2. Id. at 85. 3. Philosopher Robert Nozick of Harvard would probably make an argument against a human rights regime. See reviews of his book Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1975) in NEWSWEEK, Mar. 31, 1975, at 81, and Singer, The Right to be Rich or Poor, N.Y. REv. BOOKS, Mar. 6, 1975, at 19. The power of the state is the most serious threat to an individual's human rights but there are other menaces such as multinational corporations: If the emergent multinationals [corporations] are not effectively subject to national legislation, they are even less subject to the United Nations or regional international governmental organizations (IGOs).

  • Observations on the State of Indigenous Human Rights in Chile
    Observations on the State of Indigenous Human Rights in Chile Prepared for: The 32nd Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council Universal Periodic Review Submission Date: July 2018 Cultural Survival is an international Indigenous rights organization with a global Indigenous leadership and consultative status with ECOSOC. Cultural Survival is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States. Cultural Survival monitors the protection of Indigenous peoples' rights in countries throughout the world and publishes its findings in its magazine, the Cultural Survival Quarterly; and on its website: www.cs.org Cultural Survival 2067 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02140 USA Tel: 1 (617) 441 5400 [email protected] www.culturalsurvival.org I. Executive Summary Chile has failed to adequately align its national legislation with international standards of Free, Prior, Informed Consent. This lack of consultation with Indigenous Peoples on mining, dams, and agribusiness has led to deep conflict. In turn, Mapuche efforts to protect their land, culture and people along with their rights to self-determination, autonomy, and freedom are discredited by the State’s ongoing discriminatory application of the anti-terrorism laws criminalizing peaceful protest and is indicative of deep-rooted discrimination against Indigenous groups in Chile, and is reflected in mainstream media. II. Background Information Chile is the only South American country that does not recognize Indigenous Peoples in its constitution. According to Chile’s 2017 census, 13% of Chileans identify as Indigenous. 79.8% identify as Mapuche, the largest Indigenous group in the country.i The Aymara, Quechua, Atacameño, Kolla, Diaguita, Yaghan, Rapa Nui, and Kawaskhar are recognized by Chilean law as Indigenous.

  • Human Rights Trials in Chile During and After the 'Pinochet Years'
    The International Journal of Transitional Justice, 2009, 1–20, doi: 10.1093/ijtj/ijp023 Human Rights Trials in Chile during and after the ‘Pinochet Years’ Cath Collins∗ Abstract This article reflects on the recent Chilean experience of accountability actions, particu- larly the attempted prosecution of perpetrators of past human rights violations. While acknowledging the undoubtedly substantial impulse provided by the dramatic October 1998 UK arrest of former dictator Augusto Pinochet, it focuses on domestic actors and drivers in a post-1998 revival of such attempts. The article examines the extent and limi- tations of recent change in the area of prosecutions in Chile, noting that these have been undertaken at the insistence of private actors rather than the state. It also notes that the self-amnesty law of 1978 is still textually intact despite advances in restricting its appli- cation with regards to certain categories of internationally proscribed crimes. Finally, the article examines some explanatory factors for both recent advances and remaining block- ages in the Chilean human rights accountability scenario. Introduction Even a cursory examination of the ‘memory landscape’ of present-day Chile shows that the country is experiencing a reemergence of contestation over human rights violations associated with the 1973–1990 military dictatorship. In the past decade, campaigns to reclaim and rehabilitate former clandestine detention centres have sprung up in various parts of the capital, Santiago. Memorials to those killed or disappeared have been inaugurated around the country. Groups such as La Funa have taken outstanding claims to the streets, carrying out ‘popular justice’ actions that involve confronting former torturers in their homes or workplaces.
