From the perspective of recent history, this article investigates the Chilean dictatorship (1973-1990) understood as a sociopolitical catastrophe in four places in the city of Concepción: the memorial stone to the «Vicaría de la Solidaridad Penquista» of the Archbishopric of Concepción, the memorial «August 23», the memorial of the Central Cemetery and the memorial «Detained-Disappeared and Executed for Political reasons of the Biobío region». The assumption is that the relationship between territory and memory makes it possible to configure different forms of socio-political catastrophe. The spatial, symbolic and functional dimensions of places are investigated, intending to explore the complexities and singularities of the meanings and practices that the dictatorship has produced as a socio-political catastrophe. The methodology used is qualitative and employs a documentary strategy. The study relies on primary sources of reports already published, secondary sources, including archives, academic and media documents, and documents in visual format.
