Abstract

AVILA VASQUEZ, Manuel Oswaldo. PAIN AND MEMORY. A PHILOSOPHICAL REGARD FROM DORIS SALCEDO'S SHIBBOLETH. Univ. philos. [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.64, pp.153-178. ISSN 0120-5323.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uph32-64.dmds.

The text brings a reflection on pain and memory relationship from Colombian sculptor Doris Salcedos's work Shibboleth, whose background is the current Colombian armed conflict. More precisely, it emphasizes on the relevance of memory in a community's authentic historical configuration. Or, in Beuys' words, showing the wounds is highly important when trying to find cure and healing for a serious ill society, bathed in a bloody conflict between those born there, a land that, like it or not, it's found to be common for all of us.

Keywords : Doris Salcedo; Shibboleth; wounds; pain.
