Políticas de memoria y procesos de ciudadanía: Hacia el derecho a participar en la reconstrucción del pasado

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to contribute to the debate on the relationship between memory policies and citizenship processes, focusing the gaze on the right to remember. To this end, collective memory is analyzed as a public problem and a matter of public policy management. At the same time, it reconstructs the link between recognition and memory policies in Argentina, in the transition from policies in search of truth and justice - focused on victims - to policies that recognize other memories - neighborhood, gendered, racial, youth, migrants - and other subjects of memory. Finally, it is proposed to understand memory as a right of citizenship, displacing the centrality of the victim for the importance of the right to participate in the construction of the past.
