Abstract

KURI PINEDA, Edith. The House of the Indomitable Memory Museum Conditions for Creating and the Reception of a Space for Memorializing Mexico’s Dirty War. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.93, pp.181-212. ISSN 2007-8358.

The political, cultural, symbolic, and historic dimensions of memory constitute a sphere for sociological reflection that is very worthwhile for understanding how a society fits together, transforms, and reproduces. Along these lines, the spaces for memory materialize a political and axiological vision of the past as a function of the needs of the present. This article is an analysis of the social and political conditions for creating Mexico City’s House of the Indomitable Memory Museum as well as about the way in which its aesthetic and political proposal has been interpreted by some of its visitors.

Keywords : dirty war; memory; spaces for memory; violence; public space; Eureka Committee.
