Abstract

RUBIANO PINILLA, Elkin. Memory, Art and Mourning: the Case of the 'Salón del Nunca Más' of Granada (Antioquia, Colombia). Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2017, vol.9, n.18, pp.313-343. ISSN 2145-132X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v9n18.59106.

This document examines the work produced in the 'Salón del Nunca Más', located in Granada (Antioquia) on the subject of collective memory. In this rural town, the 'Salón' has articulated different practices that, along with the construction of memory, have allowed survivors of violence and family members of killed and disappeared individuals to symbolize loss by means of public rituals. On the other hand, the article explores the visual settings that lay down the event, not only the exposure of violent events but the practices of the local community: what happens in the 'Salón', the journalistic covering (written press), the documental photography (Jesús Abad Colorado) and the artistic work (Erika Diettes). For this purpose, archival material, a historical interdisciplinary approach, psychoanalysis and image and communication theories, as well as interviews is referenced through this article.

Keywords : memories; mourning; documental photography; violence in Colombia; Granada (Antioquia).
