Preface to the post-dictatorship is proposed as a reading of the post-dictatorship, as a reading of that file or book that has been produced or written for thirty years now, from the very day the No triumphed in the 1988 plebiscite. In this sense, it is presented as the beginning of an "endless analysis", like the preview of a speech, of a reading aloud, which has no other task than to look back at some of the texts that make up the archive of time. Present. To return to them to present them again, to bring them to the threshold of a story that is somehow indecipherable.
