Memoria, verdad, nación y ciudadanía: algunas reflexiones sobre la Comisión de la Verdad y la Reconciliación en Sudáfrica
1 Investigadora de la UAM-Xochimilco, México.
En el presente artículo se yuxtapone “verdad” y memoria en el análisis del funcionamiento de la Comisión de la Verdad y la Reconciliación en Sudáfrica (1995-2001). Especialmente se exploran las “verdades” resultantes como producto de un proceso de redeinición de ciudadanía y nación (un proyecto político de construcción-reconstrucción nacional) con cierta particularidad que conviene tener presente para poder pensarlas a la luz de similares experiencias en América Latina.
Palabras clave: Sudáfrica; memoria; verdad; ciudadanía; reconciliación
In the present article “truth” and memory are juxtaposed in the analysis of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) (1995-2001). In the South African case, “truth” was the product of the process of new citizenship and nation-building. The South African experience is a way to rethink similar experiences in Latin America.
Key words: South Africa; memory; truth; citizenship; reconciliation
