Un terror, dos lugares, ¿qué memoria? Reflexiones acerca de dos espacios para la memoria en el Cono Sur

Abstract

This text studies the peculiarities, differences and similarities of two spaces dedicated to Human Rights in Southern Latin America: the Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos in Santiago, Chile, y and the Espacio Memoria y Derechos Humanos (ex ESMA) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Following a description of both spaces and an interpretation of their characteristics, the article focuses on the study of the ways in which historical massacres are represented in images displayed in those places.
