Abstract

Dissidient Memoirs. Magazine on heritage, archives and memories aims to address the complexity of languages that deal with the past-present relationship, and the debts that the management of temporality owes both to the dead and to the future. In Latin America, memories, archives and heritage are currently at a crossroads that requires denaturalizing and questioning the relationship between testimony, rest and legacy. Three axes crossed by the political and epistemic problems of truth, silencing and exclusion.
