Musealizar la memoria de las víctimas

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to limit the cultural tendency to giving the memory of the victims a museum-like status and to analyze, within the cultural spaces, the so called memorial museums and places of conscience. In summary, this paper presents some examples of the countries that have given this modality of memory the status of museum, in order to further deepen in the confrontation and social processes that generate the representation of this memorial heritage, to define the languages and formats for its transmission, and to expose a critical reading of the trajectory experienced in Spain.
