Abstract

PENAGOS CARRENO, Julián. Memory Construction of a Place in the Press. Urabá in Semana Magazine. (1980-2002). anagramas rumbos sentidos comun. [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.18, pp.185-199. ISSN 1692-2522.

This article starts with a theoretical concept of the press as a source and a reference of meaningful memory construction of a place (Urabá, Colombia in this case). The article makes an analysis of thirty articles from Semana Magazine, published between 1980 and 2002 and compares them with some historiographic works with respect to Urabá. The article concludes that Semana Magazine makes a narration focused on the armed conflict and constructed in a reductionist and simplistic way with no context, and that this affects Urabá memory construction and image, showing this place as a torrid, violent, and hopeless region.

Keywords : Urabá; representation; State; society; conflict.
