It focuses on the case of Chile and concentrates on three examples of public buildings in the capital city, Santiago. Given what can be considered a <em>difficult heritage</em> –linked to the recent experience of dictatorship and state sponsored violence– these buildings have been in recent years objects of heritage politics, directed to address a public memory related to those events. Based on these case studies, the article critically discusses the materialization of the dominant <em>human rights</em> discourse in the current memory politics affecting Santiago’s urban heritage.}, number={2}, journal={Culture & History Digital Journal}, author={Chiara Bianchini, Maria}, year={2014}, month={Dec.}, pages={e023} }
