Resumen
This article examines the challenges and potential setbacks faced by memory and transitional justice policies in contemporary democracies. While the early optimism of the “memory boom” suggested linear progress, the electoral rise of far-right movements calls for a reassessment of this assumption. The erosion of the authoritarian stigma in post-dictatorial societies reveals the vulnerability of memory policies to political volatility. The article analyzes Spain as the main case, with comparative references to Brazil and Argentina. It shows that while setbacks are increasingly common, memory and transitional justice policies are subject to very complex dynamics where the historical, political, and social contexts matter in a field marked by the mobilizing potential of the political discourse on memory, on one hand, and the acquired rights resulting from transitional justice and memory policies, on the other.
