Abstract

This research analyses the cultural and political ideas published in Araucária de Chile magazine, printed in the period between 1978 and 1990 by a group of intellectual Chileans in exile, or else by people next to the Chilean Communist Party. Araucária de Chile was a Cultural magazine, which purpose was being a way to circulate cultural ideas among Chileans in exile. The containment of the emergence of this publication, the Chile coup d’état , the persecution and the exile of thousands of Chileans made Araucária a magazine involved in defense of democracy in Chile and the other Latin-American countries, which were under similar dictatorships during the twelve years it was printed.
