Procesos de Memoria. Introducción

Abstract

The call for this dossier invited us to reflect on a specific question: What are memory processes about when they are collectively approached as political projects by subordinate groups? That same invitation anticipated the importance of taking into account that these remembrance works, in addition to being political, are usually affective, and that they are not only interested in organizing past experiences but also in producing meaningful knowledge about the present and the future. Furthermore, by defining them as political, it was being invited to think about how these projects position themselves to resist or fight in a disadvantageous field of forces.
