Abstract
En la postdictadura se debió enfrentar a desafíos complejos, gobernar la democracia en coincidencia con miembros de la recién terminada Dictadura era un problema difícil de sortear. En este contexto, enfrentar el pasado reciente desde las narrativas oficiales requería de equilibrios frágiles. En este artículo analizamos de qué manera se configura el debate y desarrollo de la Historia publica sobre el golpe de Estado durante los primeros años del retorno a la democracia. Analizamos como los relatos del oficialismo, intelectuales de derecha e historiadores entran en la batalla por el pasado y proponen sus narrativas. Fi-nalmente pudimos dar cuenta de la relevancia de la investigación histórica para combatir la distorsión del pasado, observando los riesgos que tiene el ceder los espacios discursivos públicos a individuos o grupos que buscan consolidar intereses a través de errores y desinformación sobre la Historia reciente chilena.
In the post-dictatorship period, it had to face complex challenges. Governing democracy in coincidence with members of the recently ended dic-tatorship was a difficult problem to overcome. In this context, facing the recent past from the official narratives required fragile balances. In this article, we an-alyze how the debate and development of the public history of the coup d'état took shape during the first years of the return to democracy. We analyze how the official, right-wing intellectuals and historians enter the battle for the past and propose their narratives. Finally, we realized the relevance of historical research in fighting the distortion of the past, observing the risks of relinquish-ing public discursive spaces to individuals or groups that seek to consolidate interests through errors and misinformation about recent Chilean history.
