Puente Bulnes como lugar de memoria: tipos de apropiación y generación del memorial

Abstract

In this article we analise the characteristic appropriation process of a memorial place in Chile called Puente Bulnes. This analysis is made in function of an etnographic investigation, in which participants observation and etnographic interviews were made by us at different moments of differents days in the memorial place. We consider appropriation as a central aspect, being it needed to establish the link with the memorial place and it subsequence maintenance, appropriation which is specific to subjects that are responsible for it, of meanings that support it, and the uses that display it.
