Synopsis

Hispanic cultures are profoundly shaped by the aftermath of historical and persistent traumas, originating from processes such as conquest, slavery, various wars, prolonged dictatorships, guerrilla rebellions, revolutionary movements, forced migration, and exile. This volume of contributions comprehensively explores the intricate correlations between the inherent violence of these events and the psychological and social trauma derived from them, as well as their complex representation and (re)elaboration in various media. Addressing crucial issues related to the construction and preservation of cultural memory, the essays analyze a wide spectrum of artistic and cultural manifestations. This includes the discussion of literary texts, audiovisual genres, the configuration of places of remembrance and commemoration, architecture as a space of memory, and the fundamental role of museums in articulating historical narratives.
