description   This article examines the intelligence service and repression actions against Chilean exiles in Argentina that were carried out between 1983 and 1988 by Chilean agents and security forces. Along with this, it seeks to characterize the repressive experiences lived by the exiled community in Argentina understanding how the representation of a “transandine threat” involve the multiplication of different faces of control and surveillance since 1986. this article relies on different sources, diplomatic and intelligence documents, as well as in press notes corresponding to that period of time. The hypothesis of this work indicates that the existence of infiltrators and agents of extraterritorial repression in Argentina strained the process of pacification that both countries had been carrying out since 1984 as a result of the war conflict over the Beagle Channel, and hinted the need to implement a coordination plan repressive on both sides of the mountain range.

Along with this, it seeks to characterize the repressive experiences lived by the exiled community in Argentina understanding how the representation of a “transandine threat” involve the multiplication of different faces of control and surveillance since 1986. this article relies on different sources, diplomatic and intelligence documents, as well as in press notes corresponding to that period of time.

Junto a ello, busca caracterizar las experiencias represivas vividas por la comunidad exiliada en Argentina y comprender cómo se nutrió la representación de una “amenaza trasandina” que, desde 1986, implicó la multiplicación de distintas caras del control y la vigilancia. Este trabajo se apoya en distintos documentos estatales, diplomáticos y producidos por agentes de inteligencia, así como en prensa de la época. Su hipótesis es que la existencia de infiltrados y agentes de represión extraterritorial en Argentina tensionó el proceso de pacificación que ambos países llevaban adelante desde 1984 a raíz del conflicto bélico por el Canal del Beagle, insinuando la necesidad de implementar un plan de coordinación represiva a ambos lados de la cordillera.
