Over 1,000 Political Imprisonment And Torture Centers Existed Across Chile During The Dictatorship Of General Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990). Music Was Often Present In Those Centers, Both As A Response To And Part Of Human Rights Violations. In This Pioneering Book, Katia Chornik Explores The Relationships Between Music, Memory, And Human Rights, Discussing A Broad Range Of Music Experiences And Repertoire And How These Are Remembered, Preserved, And Disseminated Decades On.

Chornik Blends Archival Sources With Personal Interviews With Former Political Prisoners, Agents Of Secret Services, And Visitors To Prisons, Proposing The Concept Of Memory Cacophony To Describe The Discordant Kaleidoscope Of Voices, Memories, Repertoire, And Experiences Her Research Has Unveiled-- Provided By Publisher.
