Sites of Memory in Spain and Latin America

Trauma, Politics, and Resistance

«This excellent collection of essays reveals new and meaningful connections between the ways in which Spain and Latin America have been coming to terms with recent and not-so-recent violent pasts. The book not only makes the case for a Trans-Atlantic approach to memory studies in the Spanish-speaking world, but is also evidence of the specific contribution that literature, culture, and cultural criticism can make to the complex social processes that define individual and collective relationships with the past.»

Sites of Memory in Spain and Latin America is a collection of essays that explores historical memory at the intersection of political, cultural, social, and economic forces in the contexts of Spain and Latin America. The essays here focus on a variety of forms of memory—from the most concrete to the performative—that resist forgetting and unite individuals against hegemonic memory. The volume comprises four thematic sections that focus on Chile, Spain, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. Keeping in line with the concept informing this collection, that the past returns politically to haunt the present, the four sections move from the contemporary context to the colonial and pre-Columbian eras in Latin America. For all its diversity, the researchers’ interdisciplinary methodology displayed in this collection brings to light processes that would otherwise have remained illegible under a more narrow interpretative approach to historical memory.

This volume focuses on the processes of remembering in geographies that have been transformed by violence and conflict in Spain and Latin America. In the cases investigated witnessing, trauma, and testimony speak to the urgency of truth and justice; historical memory, therefore, is ultimately a political act.
