Abstract
The text corresponds to a comparative study of cases on cultural policies in the field of cultural heritage of the authoritarian regimes of Chile (1973-1990) and Uruguay (1973- 1985). It seeks to understand the process of patrimonialization expressed in the declaration of national monuments, as a strategy of symbolic refounding of the national State under authoritarian, nationalist and traditionalist coordinates. The foregoing supposes to discuss the refoundational condition of the military dictatorships of the Southern Cone, since they were not projects of step, but they exerted an action in which they perpetuated certain cultural consensus and redefined national identities as a form of future projection.
