Puente Bulnes como lugar de memoria: tipos de apropiación y generación del memorial

In this article we analyze the characteristic appropriation process of a memorial place in Chile called Puente Bulnes. This analysis is made in function of an ethnographic investiga-tion, in which participants observation and ethnographic interviews were made by us at different moments of different days in the memorial place. We consider appropriation as a central aspect, being it needed to establish the link with the memorial place and it subse-quence maintenance, appropriation which is specific to subjects that are responsible for it, of meanings that support it, and the uses that display it.
