Abstract

The current pandemic-imposed reliance on media-centered forms of civic engagement underscores the need for empirical mediatization research on the relationship between media, partisan conflict, and political culture. Drawing from critical Latin American media scholarship, mediatization theory, and Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), this article proposes a framework for comparative political communication research that centers on media practices and sociocultural change. By analyzing how a 1988 political advertising campaign in dictatorial Chile instantiated a peculiar vision of democratic transition, this article provides an examination of the disjuncture between televised representations of cheerful political reconciliation and abominable human rights abuses as the initial stage in the mediatization of Chilean human rights memory (HRM).

智利人权记忆的中介化

摘要

当前大流行对以媒体为中心的公民参与形式的依赖强调了需要对媒体，党派冲突和政治文化之间的关系进行经验性中介研究。本文从拉丁美洲的批评媒体研究，媒介化理论和文化历史活动理论（CHAT）的角度出发，提出了一个以媒体实践和社会文化变革为中心的比较政治传播研究框架。通过分析1988年独裁的智利的政治广告运动如何实例化民主过渡的特殊构想，本文考察了开朗的政治和解的电视代表与可恶的侵犯人权行为之间的脱节，这是智利人权中介化的初始阶段内存（HRM）。
