Abstract

Chilean poetry written during the Transition post authoritarian period by writers initiated into this cultural field, created the voice of an impossible witness (Agamben) who represented the bodies thrown overboard and expanded this image to all the subjectivities wiped out. Javier Bello, Germán Carrasco, Alejandra del Rio, Verónica Jimenez, Andrés Anwandter and Antonia Torres gave to the voice of the murdered who came back from death the power of referring to beloved objects that have been lost: territories, cities, popular communities and very many loses.
