    Memory Sites and Reenacting State Terrorism: The Museum at Argentina’s Naval Mechanics School
    (Berghahn, 2022) González de Oleaga, Marisa N.
    The politics of memory have become a sine qua non of the agendas of Western governments. Transitional justice, symbolic reparations, and memory transmission are some of the concepts that accompany these new trends in remembrance. In this process, the sites of traumatic events affecting the community—events necessary to remember—have gained particular prominence. Often referred to as places or sites of memory, they represent a novel combination of memory and space not seen in the past. Public policies have traditionally commemorated and emphasized sites associated with victory, not defeat. It was not until post–World War II that the places where atrocities took place began to emerge from the past as a way to take stock of the present. What can be done with an extermination camp after the fact? How can a battlefield be incorporated into a community’s historic landscape? This transformation can be achieved by resignifying these sites—for example, by turning them into spaces of memory, museums, study centers, cultural institutions, or social organizations where history can be reenacted, to list just a few examples. There appears to be a need, generally voiced by survivors and by the organizations that represent them, to not simply let bygones be bygones, to not allow these sites to be destroyed, and to preserve them as powerful documents but at the same time invalidate them as monuments. Those who promote this type of remembrance seem to suggest that, although we cannot change what happened at such sites, we can incorporate sites into our experiences and tell their stories to the generations to come in a different way.

    Militancy, Dictatorship and sites for representation in Río de la Plata: Museo de la Memoria y Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada
    (Routledge, 2023-04-21) González de Oleaga, Marisa N.; Di Liscia, María Silvia; Ricciardo, Carmen
    Though they deal with a similar time period and share similar aims, Museo de la Memoria in Montevideo and what was formerly Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada (the Naval Mechanics School, or ESMA) in Buenos Aires present contrasting depictions of dictatorship, social mobilization, repression, and the return to democracy in the Southern Cone. The planning for both sites took place in the 21st century, drawing on new and more progressive political proposals with a focus on the issues associated with recovering memory. A comparative analysis of the sites, then, seems timely. The differences in the two sites are related to not only the exhibits themselves but to the role of government-sponsored memories, state agencies, and other social groups. There are similarities between the exhibits at MUME and the former ESMA, both of which gloss over the violence exercised by those who fought against the regime. At the same time, some degree of political indoctrination can be seen in the curatorial representation of this conflictive period at both institutions.
