UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Placing Memory: Postdictatorial Documentaries in the Southern Cone a Dissertation Submitt UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Placing Memory: Postdictatorial Documentaries in the Southern Cone A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media Studies by David Winks Gray Committee in charge: Professor Janet Walker, Chair Professor Cristina Venegas Professor Charles Wolfe Professor Catherine Benamou, University of California Irvine June 2015 The dissertation of David Winks Gray is approved. ____________________________________________ Catherine Benamou ____________________________________________ Cristina Venegas ____________________________________________ Charles Wolfe ____________________________________________ Janet Walker, Committee Chair June 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their support and friendship during the writing of this dissertation, too many to all be mentioned here. Antonio Traverso was kind enough to share a number of his contacts in Chile with me, and pave the way with introductions. For their hospitality, their patience with my Spanish, and their generosity with their time I thank Macarena Aguiló and Lorena Giachino Torréns, Enrique Azúa at Chile’s National Institute for Human Rights, Eduardo Machuca at the Ministry of Foreign Relations in Chile, Evangelina Sanchez and the rest of the staff at Memoria Abierta in Argentina, and Maria Teresa Viera-Gallo at the Museo de la memoria in Chile. I am also indebted to all the tour guides, and memory workers who met with me and answered my questions at ESMA, El Olimpo, Londres 38, the Museo de la memoria in Rosario, the Museo de la memoria in Santiago, the Parque de la memoria in Buenos Aires, and Villa Grimaldi. Francisco Lomelí shared his temporary home in Santiago with me, and let me use office space at the University of California Education Abroad office. I thank him also for the conversations, the food, the tour guiding, and for watching baseball and the presidential debates with me. I have been incredibly lucky to complete my graduate studies in an environment as collegial and intellectually stimulating as that of the Department of Film and Media Studies at the University of California Santa Barbara. Among the graduate students, I particularly thank Hannah Goodwin, Carlos Jimenez, Rahul Mukherjee, and Ethan Tussey for their friendship. Maria Corrigan and Jade Petermon are two of the best iii friends I could ever hope to have. I can’t wait to see what lies in store in the lives and careers of my fantastic fellow grads. My dissertation committee was an inspiration and my discussions with them individually and as a large group were immeasurably productive. Catherine Benamou at UC Irvine was generous enough to join the committee from afar, and gave me terrific feedback and suggestions. Charles Wolfe was often able to see my arguments more clearly than I was, and helped shape the project during its inception in the prospectus class. Before this project existed, Cristina Venegas kindly conducted an Independent Study with me on Latin American documentary, and her enthusiasm and critical feedback has been invaluable throughout the development of the dissertation. Finally, Janet Walker has been an inspiring mentor, and a constant champion of my work. I feel fortunate to have had her in my corner, and I aspire to someday be half the scholar and mentor that she is. I think my friends and family most of all, for all their love and support, especially John Gray, Elizabeth Allen, Samuel Gray, and Miranda Gray. This dissertation is dedicated to Anna Geer and Felix Gray, without whom I could do nothing. I offer it with love, and look forward to our next adventures. iv VITA OF DAVID WINKS GRAY June 2015 EDUCATION Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film & TV Production, New York University, May 2002 Master of Arts in Cinema Studies, San Francisco State University, May 2009 Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, June 2015 (expected) PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT 2008: Teaching Assistant, Cinema Department, San Francisco State University Summer 2010: Research Assistant, Media Industries Project, University of California, Santa Barbara 2010-2014: Teaching Assistant, Department of Film and Media Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara 2014-2015: Teaching Assistant, Writing Program, University of California, Santa Barbara PUBLICATIONS “Representing the Unrepresentable: The Cinema of Rithy Panh,” Unpublished thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in Cinema Studies, San Francisco State University, 2009. 38 pp. With Ido Haar, Jade Petermon, and Janet Walker, “Mapping Documentary: Roundtable with Filmmaker Ido Haar and Film and Media Studies Scholar Janet Walker in Conversation with David Gray and Jade Petermon.” Media Fields Journal no. 3, 2011 http://www.mediafieldsjournal.org/mapping-documentary/ With Jade Petermon, “Introduction: Media, Space, and Memory.” Media Fields Journal, no. 5, 2012 http://mediafieldsjournal.squarespace.com/introduction-memory-space-and/ AWARDS Post Script Graduate Student Essay Award in Film Studies, Southwest Texas PCA/ACA, Albuquerque, NM, 2009 University of California Regent’s Special Fellowship, University of California, Santa Barbara, 2009-2010 & 2012-2013 Humanities and Social Sciences Research Grant for research in Argentina, University of California, Santa Barbara, Graduate Division, 2013 v ABSTRACT Placing Memory: Postdictatorial Documentaries in the Southern Cone by David Winks Gray My dissertation, Placing Memory: Postdictatorial Documentaries in the Southern Cone, examines recent films from Argentina and Chile that take up the dictatorships of the 1970s and ‘80s in each country. I argue that these documentaries provide a new vantage point from which to consider how spaces in the postdictatorial landscape are mediated, shaped, and reshaped in memory over time, remolded to the demands of each successive generation. I begin by considering the politics of these recent documentaries in relation with the more militant films of the New Latin American Cinema of the ‘60s and ‘70s. This chapter also includes consideration of the different relationships to memory of those who experienced the dictatorship as adults, and the postmemory generation, or those who were children during, or were born after the dictatorship. In the two chapters that follow, I consider films that employ sites with memorial significance: first, official memorial sites, with wide recognition and significance, and second, sites that resonate within individual or smaller-scale memories, whether that of the filmmaker or their subjects. I read these sites through the films and through my own site visits in order to elucidate the vi ways in which the films alter the experience of the sites, or function as memorials in their own right. Finally, I examine the networks of distribution and sites of exhibition for these films, including museums that exhibit documentary clips, screenings at memory sites and at schools, and documentary representations of the space of exhibition in a memorial context. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Chapter One: Postmemory and Politics Across the Rupture 31 Chapter Two: “What to Do Starting From this Place”: Documentary Production and Official Memorialization 70 Chapter Three: Unofficial and Individual Memory Sites 111 Chapter Four: Exhibition Site as Memorial Space 141 Conclusion 172 References 175 Film/Videography 194 Appendix: Acronyms Used in Dissertation 198 viii Introduction Both Argentina and Chile were marked in the 1970s and 1980s by violent dictatorships that carried out systematic and clandestine campaigns of detention, torture, killing and disappearance. In Chile, the government of Augusto Pinochet, who led the military coup that overthrew Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973, ruled from 1973 to 1990, at which point a transition to democracy took place although Pinochet remained the commander-in-chief of the army until 1998. Argentina’s Dirty War is associated with the military dictatorship that ruled from 1976 to 1983, with the worst human rights violations having taken place under the rule of Jorge Rafael Videla.1 However, the government had engaged in repression in the years prior to the military coup of 1976, so that the coup produced an intensification, but also represented a continuation of military violence directed towards those on the left. Both dictatorships were pieces in a continent-wide upheaval that included murderous dictatorships in countries such as Bolivia, Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Uruguay, often with the implicit or explicit support of the United States intelligence apparatus and State Department. The application of state terror in Latin America was transnational, through the repressive structure of Operation Condor, under which regimes in Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia all collaborated, together with the support of the CIA. In the post-dictatorship period, both Argentina and Chile have gone through tumultuous 1 Videla ruled until 1981, when he was replaced in quick succession by Roberto Viola and Leopaldo Galtieri. The occupation of the Falkland Islands, and defeat of the Argentine Army in the Falklands War was one of the key contributing events leading to the demise of the military government and the return to democracy with the election of Raúl Alfonsin in 1983. 1 periods of contestation and struggle over whether and how to memorialize the suffering that marked the events of the

His films have redefined the genre from the advent of the New Latin American Cinema through the 2010s and are characterized by marked subjectivity and the representation of absence in the postdictatorial context. His filmmaking, beginning in the early 1970s and ending with his latest film, Nostalgia de la luz (2010), constitutes the most complete attempt in any medium to document Chilean national life before, during, and after the Pinochet dictator- ship (1973–1990).

  • Notes on Human Rights and Film in Post-Dictatorship Chile, 1990-2004
    Staging Dirty War Memory: Notes on Human Rights and Film in Post-Dictatorship Chile, 1990-2004 Steve J. Stern History Department University of Wisconsin-Madison Colloquium Paper for Yale University, Program in Agrarian Studies, Friday 7 November 2008. NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT CITE WITHOUT PERMISSION. CONTEXT: This is an exploratory paper, in the spirit of a workshop on research in progress. In keeping with the spirit of the Agrarian Studies seminars, the written version is preliminary, more like a set of narrative notes than a complete annotated paper. I welcome feedback, and consider the analysis tentative. After completing my current trilogy project (the third volume should appear in 2009) and its corresponding Spanish- language editions, I hope to launch a comparative research project on cinema and memory making about “dirty war” in Argentina, Chile, Peru, with exploration of transnational and U.S. aspects, as well. What you see in this paper is one tiny exploratory slice of the larger project. A key focus of the new project, if I undertake it, will be the social geography of empathy and othering on the one hand, and moral complicity on the other. The premise is that film is an important commodity of mass culture as well as artistic endeavor in Latin America during the last half-century. Film (and in some contexts, theater) can therefore offer insight on the making and exclusions of moral community in times of divided memory about “dirty war” and its legacies.

LAToRE* Abstract: The military regimes of the countries of the Southern Cone of South America cooperated under Operation Condor to eradicate all political opposition throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The military leaders of these regimes are only now being brought to justice for their crimes, which include widespread killing and "disappearances" of political opponents and, in Argentina, the stealing of babies born to doomed political dissidents. It is only in the last decade that these crimes have been brought to light so that the perpetrators can be brought to justice and nations deeply wounded can begin to heal.

Themes include friendship, family, social differences and historical events. Sinopsis Chile, 1973. Gonzalo Infante y Pedro Machuca son dos niños de once años que viven en Santiago, el primero en un barrio acomodado y el segundo en un humilde poblado ilegal recientemente instalado a pocas manzanas de distancia, dos mundos separados por una gran muralla invisible que algunos, en su afán por hacer realidad los sueños de una época llena de esperanzas revolucionarias, quieren derribar. Uno de estos soñadores, el director de un colegio religioso privado, el padre McEnroe, con el apoyo de parte de los padres, integra en el elitista colegio a chicos de familias de escasos recursos procedentes del poblado, con la firme decisión de que aprendan a respetarse mutuamente. Es así como Pedro Machuca está en la misma clase de Gonzalo Infante y entre ellos nace una amistad llena de descubrimientos y sorpresas. Pero a las dificultades objetivas de este intento de integración se agregan las que se derivan del clima de abierto enfrentamiento social que vive la sociedad chilena...

  • Argentine Democratic Politics in an Era of Global Economic Crisis
    Taiwan Journal of Democracy, Volume 8, No. 1: 1-25 Argentine Democratic Politics in an Era of Global Economic Crisis Alejandro Bonvecchi and Javier Zelaznik Abstract This essay investigates the political and economic conditions that shaped Argentina´s response to the international economic crisis of 2008-2009 and its effects on the democratic regime. Argentina managed not only to preserve its democracy but also to improve its citizens' level of support for it during the crisis. Three factors account for these outcomes. One is the government's ability to obtain funding for its counter-cyclical policies, which enabled it to redress some of the economic and social effects of the crisis. Another factor is the government's success in presenting its statist and redistributive policy responses as a break with the past, thus recreating expectations of change to the status quo and hope for a better future. Finally, the timing of the legislative election and the coalitional dynamics of the opposition allowed the government to perform a strategic shift, which effectively reshaped the political agenda and enabled the ruling coalition to recover from an important electoral defeat by reinventing its nature. These factors enabled the incumbent government to recast the continuity of its previous policies as a novel response to the crisis, and thus rekindle the basis for a positive assessment of the democratic regime among citizens. Key words: Argentina, democracy, economic crisis, elections. The political effects of the international economic crisis of 2008-2009 in Latin America were somewhat anomalous. Contrary to the expectations born out of the experience of the Great Depression, the crisis did not weaken but strengthened public support for democracy.

    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

El país todavía no ha logrado realizar el duelo por un pasado tan doloroso, y las memorias antagónicas y contrapuestas siguen vigentes. Ello se manifiesta, por ejemplo, en los conflictos generados en torno a la conmemoración del 11 de septiembre, en los polémicos debates por los memoriales erigidos en honor de personajes políticos de izquierda y de derecha, así como en las contradictorias mi- radas respecto a uno de los personajes más emblemáticos de la represión dictatorial, Miguel Krassnoff, tal como aparece en dos libros de reciente publicación. Palabras clave: Chile, memorias antagónicas, fechas, memoriales, personajes. Abstract In Chile, in spite of the last eighteen years of democracy, there are still shadows of the dictatorial past. Duel of the painful past hasn’t been yet accomplished, and contradic- tory and antagonistic memories are still playing a crucial role in society and politics.
