Ever since Chile's military coup of 11 September 1973, whether inside the country or in exile, filmmakers have passionately and incessantly documented, created, and reenacted memories from this traumatic event and its aftermath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Un)veiling Bodies\u003c\/em\u003e analyses the rich landscape of Chilean documentary during the first two decades after the restoration of civilian rule in 1990. Ram rez-Soto proposes a trajectory that shifts from revealing the bodies of direct victims to unveiling the body of the film itself. This is a journey deeply intertwined with the country's own democratic transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInformed by the affective turn in film studies, this book offers a novel approach to this largely unexplored field of Chilean cinema by arguing that these heterogeneous works shift from a 'cinema of the affected' to a 'cinema of affect'. By doing so, these documentaries contribute to Chilean society's own restoration of the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Ram rez-Soto is Assistant Professor in the School of Cinema at San Francisco State University.
