Kommentar/Beschreibung

The seminar focused on the contributions of Latin American thought to the field of memory studies. Particularly, considering the experiences of the different truth commissions in the region. The goal is to critically portray different conflict contexts to understand the development, conclusions, and contributions of the mandates of truth commissions, both in the national scenarios in which they operated and the broader theoretical landscape of memory studies.

The course will provide access to English and Spanish literature, audiovisual material, and enriching discussions that present and analyze the discourses, contents, and emphasis of the truth commissions according to the historical and social contexts that shaped each of the mandates. The approximation will allow the student to build up knowledge and understanding to evaluate the potential and challenges of the Latin American experience in relation to the global context of increasing violence and human rights violations.

The aim is to promote critical reflections and the active participation of students after accessing concepts, notions, current debates, and other forms of knowledge that, despite being the result of specific settings, offer lessons and learnings for future experiences and also for increasing the scope of memory as a political and socio-cultural concern.
