| Résumé anglais |
The term « places of memory », proposed by Pierre Nora is the point of departure for an analysis of two novels written during the Chilean democratic transition. El palacio de la risa by Germán Marín, and Una casa vacía by Carlos Cerda could be seen as a variation on the same theme : the private houses that were used as torture centres during the Pinochet regime. In this article, on the one hand I examine the way in which these authors construct literary space on the base of individual and collective memory. On the other, I try to define the influence the conversion of homes into deposits of terror could have left in the imaginary of the house in those two novels.
