Apuntes sobre "Escuela" de Guillermo Calderón Larraín George, Javiera Escuela Calderón revolution violence dictatorship affects Escuela Calderón revolución violencia dictadura afectos In "Escuela", Guillermo Calderón centers the action on the paramilitary education received in a clandestine revolutionary cell by a group of militants who oppose the Chilean Dictatorship. For this, the dramaturgy builds bridges of historical affiliation that combine the past tradition of the events that took place during the Dictatorship with the present occurrence of the immediate Chilean reality. The authorship presents an approach based on the logic of affects, which tries to differentiate and categorize the differents acts of armed violence considering whether they are moved by hatred or love. This way, "Escuela" emerges as an agent that works in the rediscovery and redefinition of the concept of State under the consequences of the last Dictatorship. Its dramaturgical and performative construction are, therefore, focused on the fragmentation and dissolution of a headless and dysfunctional social referent, as well as on the way in which it –consequently– criminalizes the violence of those who fought to recover democracy. Thus, Calderón establishes underground relations between the archival nature of his text and the political events of the country, through the encrypted reconstruction of an act of memory regarding the political actions of civic military resistance in the Dictatorship.  En "Escuela", Guillermo Calderón centra el eje de la acción en la educación paramilitar que reciben un grupo de militantes, opuestos a la Dictadura chilena, en una célula revolucionaria clandestina. Para ello, la dramaturgia construye puentes de filiación histórica que aúnan la tradición pasada de los hechos acontecidos en Dictadura con el acontecer presente de la realidad inmediata chilena. La autoría presenta una lectura desde la lógica de los afectos, que intenta diferenciar y categorizar los diversos actos de violencia armada; ya sean estos movidos por el odio o por el amor. De esta forma, "Escuela" surge como un agente que trabaja en el redescubrimiento y la redefinición del concepto de Estado bajo las consecuencias de la pasada Dictadura, centrando su eje dramático textual y performático en la fragmentación y la disolución de un referente social acefálico y disfuncional; y –por tanto– en la manera en que este criminaliza la violencia de aquellos que lucharon por recuperar la democracia. Así, Calderón establece relaciones subterráneas entre la naturaleza archivística de su texto y el acontecer político del país, mediante la reconstrucción cifrada del hecho memorístico en torno a las políticas de resistencia cívica militar en la Dictadura.  Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2019-02-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/6514 10.34096/tdf.n29.6514 telondefondo.
