This presentation examines the role of memory among members of first-generation Chilean emigrants to Australia and Melbourne; more specifically looking at how they adapt to Australian society while they still remain anchored to their home country in soul and spirit. The analysis will be inserted into a memory studies framework, with Ricoeurian theories primarily drawn from. His reflections on nostalgia, memory and belonging are readily applicable to our focus on citizens who fled their country under difficult circumstances, carrying with them wounds that needed healing. And yet, they eventually managed to carve a new space for themselves in a territory far away from their homeland, where they embarked on a new chapter that would leave them forever changed while at the same time they were able to connect with their Chilean motherland in a different way.

Memories of Exile and Temporary Return: Chilean Exiles Remember Chile2020 •
The exile after the military coup of 1973 has been the largest emigration flow in Chilean history. Using oral histories of Chilean exiles collected in the Midwest of the United States as evidence, I describe and analyze their memories of Chile during President Allende's government and compare them with their memories of recent visits to Chile. I argue that in order to begin recuperating the memory of exile we need to understand the complex relations between the process of exile, the memories of the country of origin, and the nation-state. I conclude this article by proposing that memory not only relates to the remembrance of things past, but also how that remembrance is projected into the present and future as a way of describing the construction of identities, citizenship, and the nation-state. These constructions are a central component of the connections former exiles want to have with the country of origin, including their inclusion in the nation's history.
Introduction to Special Issue of Immigrants and Minorities
2021 •
Migrants return " home " for various reasons that may not be necessarily linked to economic factors but rather to notions of identity and belongingness – " home is where the heart is " as that popular adage states. But when the " home " was once ravaged by war and conflict, how does one's memory of years past define a returnee's identity, when he/she returns at an advanced age? This paper looks at how older women migrants create their notions of " home " in relation to memory and nostalgia, as well as gender, by looking at a particular case of an elderly woman who returned to her place of birth, after spending several decades in her husband's country.
