Riassunto:Augusto Pinochet, during the Chilean dictatorship (1973-1990), applied diverse violent policies, mainly within the borders of the soutern country. Clandestine Detention, Torture and Extermination Centers (CCDTE) represent one of the regime's most important punitive and sacrificial tools. The opening of these spaces, after the militay regime, has allowed to practice politics of memory. The “Londres 38” building, inaugurated as CCDTE on September 11, 1973, has undergone several resemantizations (deconstructions and resignifications). This article, from a sociosemiotic perspective, presents the political functions of that buliding: as a CCDTE or as a memory site.
