This article refers to the social and emblematic memories as structural and processing entities obtained from the violation of human rights in Latin America and, particularly, in Chile. Emblematic memories are social processes related to reflectivity contexts focused on the identification of the historicity of human communities. Due to military dictatorships during the 60s and 70s, regional countries suffered the impact of those regimes. However, the reconstruction of social memories has provided valuable elements to justice and re-signification processes of this part of the recent history.
