CASTANO ZAPATA, Daniel; JURADO CASTANO, Pedro  e  RUIZ ROMERO, Gabriel. MEMORY AS AN OPEN STORY. POLITICAL CHALLENGES OF THE WORK OF MEMORY CENTERS AND TRUTH COMMISSIONS. anal.polit. [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.93, pp.3-19. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v31n93.75614.

This article is based on the recognition of the need for the work of a memory center or a truth commission to analyze the political challenge that this entails, bearing in mind that the institutional circumstances that condition the production of a final report turn its exercise of memory into a hegemonic narrative, while it is expected to contribute to the construction of the symbolic framework of post-conflict. The text presents arguments to show that the existence of victims not integrated in the institutional narrative opens the possibility of a politics of memory, as a task that must be incurred by society, that assumes the challenges left by the work of a truth commission. The text concludes that it is a citizen’s task to open the space for the political action of those victims not included in the regime of memory produced institutionally.

Palavras-chave : Truth Commission; memory regime; open story; victims; symbolic order.
