Descripción
Sumario:The essay reflects on the relationship between the aesthetics of anti-monuments and the “precarious knowledge” which characterizes the testimony of historical catastrophes such as forced disappearance, to think about testimony as an anti-hegemonic form of memory-building and elaborating on traumatic events. The analysis deepens the correlation between testimony and the action taken by relatives of the desaparecidos, as that built in Bernardo Kucinski in K.: relato de uma busca, with the significance that anti-monuments, memorials and recordatorios have in the construction of the family and collective memory of trauma.
