Del Bogotazo, multitudes y mujeres grávidas yacentes. Representaciones sociales en el restablecimiento del valor patrimonial de la Casa Museo Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, antigua Clínica Central

Abstract

In Bogotá, after the assault suffered by the political leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán on April 9, 1948, his body was taken to the Clinica Central where his death was officially declared. to a crowd that expected political orientation. To an indeterminate amount of people who required immediate attention, in very poor conditions and low risk of death, the Clinic, which was characterized by the implementation of technological innovations in its time, it served as a refuge in the midst of the generalized violence known as El Bogotazo, and was the scene of political discussion, playing a key role in the transformation of the multitude. In function of restoring its heritage value, a system of social representations explores a transformation in the Colombian visual and literary arts.
