- Class Notes:
- Whereas Latin American governments have been prone to create a "forget and forgive policies" - a sort of an "official amnesia" - for the past decades, intellectual, artistic, political, and grass-roots organizations have generated a whole range of techniques and projects in order to explore the effects of social fragmentation and political terrorism creating a collective's philosophy that encourages the writing of powerful war/postwar-related literary and political discourses, testimonies, and memory plays. For these communities, the power of memory and the past are not something that must remain silenced or superseded by the present and/or the future, as if each temporal phase would exist independently along an inexorable continuum. As oral and written memory of the past provides the roots of a culture's collective identity - an identity that has been forged by frequent violent encounters between indigenous, colonial, national, immigrant, and multinational imaginaries - this "memory-in-action" course will serve to mark not only cultural gaps and transitions but to explore forged amnesic cultural discourses in order to contribute to a long-term goal of establishing a shared and functional national historical narrative.
