| Description: | This research aims at analyzing toponymic changes in Chilean neighborhoods after the coup d’état in 1973. My hypothesis is that the new authorities, in their intention to root out Marxist ideas, physically exterminate representatives and forbid their allegories, pursued the generation of cultural and identity changes in the popular urban sectors that had been bastions for the Popular Unity Party. In order to do so, they changed their emblematic left-wing toponyms, trying thus to reconfigure the political identity of the neighborhood population and imposed iconic names for the armed forces, as manifested in military deeds and heroes. For this exploratory research, various sources were used: press, oral testimonies, and official State documentation. La investigación busca analizar los cambios de la toponimia en los barrios de Chile tras el golpe de Estado de 1973. Al respecto, sostengo como hipótesis que las nuevas autoridades, en su propósito de extirpar las ideas marxistas, eliminar físicamente a representantes y prohibir sus emblemas, buscó generar cambios culturales e identitarios en los sectores populares urbanos que habían sido bastión de la Unidad Popular. Para ello, cambiaron sus topónimos emblemáticos de izquierda, intentando reconfigurar la identidad política de la población barrial e impusieron nombres icónicos para las fuerzas armadas, expresado en gestas y héroes militares. Para esta investigación exploratoria se utilizaron diversas fuentes: prensa, testimonios orales y documentación oficial del Estado. |
