The chapter analyses the Museum of the "Museo de La Memoria Y Los Derechos Humanos" in Santiago, Chile. The Museum is a very interesting case of State Agency, under the Bachelet left wing government in 2010. The analysis shows how the complex political needs of the Chilean post-dictatorship situation informed the structure of the museum, its values system and the narrative embedded in it. The main points are investigated: the inscription of the Chilean military coup within the frame of the general Human Rights discourse, and the way historical events are defined in their temporal borders.

Abstract
The chapter analyses the Museum of the "Museo de La Memoria Y Los Derechos Humanos" in Santiago, Chile. The Museum is a very interesting case of State Agency, under the Bachelet left wing government in 2010. The analysis shows how the complex political needs of the Chilean post-dictatorship situation informed the structure of the museum, its values system and the narrative embedded in it. The main points are investigated: the inscription of the Chilean military coup within the frame of the general Human Rights discourse, and the way historical events are defined in their temporal borders.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
