This book explores how recent Colombian historical memories are
informed by cultural diversity and how some of the country's
citizens remember the brutalities committed by the Army,
guerrillas, and paramilitaries during the internal war (1980-2016).
Its chapters delve into four case studies. The first highlights the
selections of what not to remember and what not to represent at the
National Museum of the country. The second focuses on the
well-received memories at the same institution by examining a
display made to commemorate the assassination of a demobilized
guerrilla fighter. The third discusses how a rural marginal
community decided to vividly remember the attacks they experienced
by creating a display hall to aid in their collective and
individual healing. Lastly, the fourth case study, also about a
rural peripheric community, discusses their way of remembering,
which emphasizes peasant oral traditions through a traveling venue.
By bringing violence, memory, and museum studies together, this
text contributes to our understanding of how social groups severely
impacted by atrocities recreate and remember their violent
experiences. By drawing on displays, newspapers, interviews,
catalogs, and oral histories, Jimena Perry shows how museums and
exhibitions in Colombia become politically active subjects in the
acts of reflection and mourning, and how they foster new
relationships between the state and society. This volume is of
great use to students and scholars interested in Latin American and
public history.
