Filman los hijos. Nuevo testimonio en los documentales Algún lugar del cielo de Alejandra Carmona y Mi vida con Carlos de Germán Berger-Hertz

摘要

This paper analyses the new audiovisual testimony, made by members of the second generation, sons and daughters of parents who were victims of the Chilean dictatorship. It discusses two documentaries: En algún lugar del cielo (Alejandra Carmona, 2003) and Mi vida con Carlos (Germán Berger-Hertz, 2009), and posits that there are changes regarding the narrative practice of the previous generation: a new position for the witness is noted, and there are more daily and familiar images. Also, the narrative of the film intersects the parents' biographies and the children's autobiographies. From the performative features of this type of discourse, the paper explores the  elaboration of the grieving process and the intergenerational transmission.
