Memorias disidentes. Revista de estudios críticos del patrimonio, archivos y memorias

The social sciences have documented the histories of plants and animals as mere props for memory, yet have not paused to consider them with sufficient generosity. We are living through a crisis of life in which everything seems to be monoculture, agro-industrial writing, or rapidly grown, insubstantial flesh. The world of life appears to have been reduced to genetic combinations that homogenize both landscape and food. We believe it is necessary to pay attention to them and take them seriously, to see if we might engage in a dialogue that allows us to hear and see in new ways. This special issue of *Memorias Disidentes* offers original and stimulating contributions that help us recognize the diverse forms of life that spread in murmurs, leaving traces behind.
