Victoria o fracaso: La guerra del Pacífico y la autorrepresentación contemporánea de Chile

This article deals with the conflict that arises when a national historical narrative, which gives preeminence to values such as patriotism and military heroism, conflicts with paradigms of the world today, such as the universalization of human rights, the crisis of the State -nation, the rise of global globalization and the dispersion of power. The specific case that we study in this article is that of Chile, whose official history today is discussed in the light of postnational and contemporary approaches.
