description This article is about the political resistance, regarding the concentration camps established by the Chilean civil-military dictatorship (1973-1990). With respect to this, the notions of political resistance and concentration camps are observed from an interdisciplinary perspective, according to the complexities and debates understood in a historical and political context as well as in the spatial framework in which they took place, in this case, the saltpetre works of Chacabuco (1924 – 1938), which is currently a heritage site, the operational functioning of which was between November 1973 and April 1975. This background allows us to formulate a main hypothesis that political resistance includes survival strategies that not only maintain a person’s dignity and human rights, but also forms of social reorganization and retaliations that contemplate political, social and cultural actions. The methodology used was that of semi-structured interviews and the testimonial material of survivors, which had previously been published. The secondary sources are of an academic nature and from the press. The narrations of those who currently call themselves Chacabucanos is of special interest. These are people who had been detained, who are originally from Concepción, and were taken from the Regional Stadium to Chacabuco, as they had a previous political link which defined resistance strategies, which are still in existence today.

Este artículo se ocupa de la resistencia política, a propósito de los campos de concentración implementados en la dictadura chilena cívico militar (1973 – 1990). Al respecto, las nociones de resistencia política y de campos de concentración, son precisadas desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria atendiendo a las complejidades y debates que comprenden tanto el contexto histórico político como el marco espacial en que se producen y que corresponde, en este caso, a la oficina salitrera de Chacabuco (1924 – 1938) actual sitio patrimonial, cuyo funcionamiento operativo fue entre noviembre de 1973 y abril de 1975.  Estos antecedentes, permiten formular como principal supuesto, que la resistencia política comprende estrategias de sobrevivencia que no solo mantienen la dignidad y los derechos humanos, sino también formas de reorganización social y ofensivas que contemplan acciones políticas, sociales y culturales. Como metodología, se consideran entrevistas semiestructuradas y revisión de material testimonial, ya publicados, de sobrevivientes. Las fuentes secundarias son de tipo académicas y de prensa. Son de especial interés, los relatos de quienes actualmente se autodenominan “Chacabucanos”, detenidos oriundos de Concepción, trasladados desde el Estadio Regional a Chacabuco, que tenían una historia de vinculación política previa, que definió estrategias de resistencia aún vigentes. Cet article étudie la résistance politique, à propos des camps de concentrations mis en place par la dictature civico-militaire chilienne (1973-1990). A ce propos, les notions de résistance politique et des camps de concentration son précisées à partir d’une perspective interdisciplinaire qui prend compte des complexités et des débats faisant partie tant du contexte historico-politique que du cadre spatial dans lequel ils prennent place et qui correspond, dans ce cas, au bureau du salpêtre de Chacabuco (1924-1938), aujourd’hui site classé dont le fonctionnement opératif eut lieu entre novembre 1973et avril 1975. Ces antécédents permettent de formuler comme principale hypothèse que la résistance politique comprend des stratégies de survivance qui non seulement maintiennent la dignité et les droits de l’homme, mais également des formes de réorganisation sociale et offensives qui prévoient des actions politiques, sociales et culturelles. Du point de vue méthodologique, nous avons pris en compte des entretiens semi-structurés et des témoignages publiés des survivants. Nos sources secondaires sont fournies par la presse et par des publications académiques. Du plus grand intérêt sont les récits des membres du groupe se faisant appelé «Chacabucanos», originaires de Concepción, et transférés depuis le Stade Régional vers Chacabuco, qui possédaient une histoire préalable d’engagement politique définissant des stratégies de résistance encore en place.
