Interview with Nelly Richard: 50 years after the coup in Chile. Popular revolt, feminisms and a dictatorship that never ends

Abstract

In this interview we talked with the distinguished French-Chilean theorist and essayist Nelly Richard, whose intellectual trajectory has focused on art and culture, politics, gender and criticism. We discussed the recent commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the coup d'état in the context of the rise of the ultra-right that Chile is currently experiencing; the post-dictatorship period and the intervention that Revista de Crítica Cultural that Richard directed sought to make in that scenario; the contributions of feminism to the movement of opposition to the dictatorship and in general to the dialogues between feminism and the left; and the heterogeneity of the women's movement against the dictatorship, marked by solidarities and tensions between social organizations and the intellectual field.
