Dilemas y disputas al interior de una política de memoria: el caso del Museo de la Memoria de Rosario

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Memory studies tend to opt for two clear paths. Either they focus on the contestation of two antagonistic narratives, each with its selection of facts, symbols and dates. Or they analyse how a memory is represented in various devices or artefacts of the dominant and/or subaltern culture. This article proposes a third path based on the combination of both options with an articulation of political science and public policy analysis. The article will analyse the historical, political and aesthetic processes within the same narrative in order to understand, on the one hand, how these narratives are formed and, on the other, why they are represented in a certain way and not in other ways. To this end, the Rosario's Memory Museum in Argentina will be taken as the object of study.
