Diamela Eltit and Jeanne-Marie Gagnebin wrote essays regarding dictatorial regimes. Eltit’s approach to a case of violence in Pinochet’s dictatorship and Gagnebin’s study on Brazilian Military dictatorship have aspects in common, such as an interest in political violence’s effects, leading to reflections on death, and a respect for Primo Levi. A specific element of these reflections deserves attention – Eltit and Gagnebin discuss the threshold between life and death, and this threshold is an effective conceptual mediation for the authors to express the impacts of the political violence.
