A concern with collective memory arises in societies that seek to leave behind the violence of a war, of armed confrontations or of a struggle to build democratic forms of coexistence. Collective memory is proposed as part of the transition device, as a reparation strategy for the damage caused by violence, and as an element that would allow violence to never occur again. Therefore, in the XXI century, the concern with the topic is dislocating the reflections on violence and its traumatic effects, in order to search for the understanding of the present from its articulation with the past. The central concern is not exclusively in the recovery of the memory of victims of human rights violations, but in the multiplicity of voices that create stories about the past, in the recovery not only of human experiences, but above all of struggles and resistance, and their articulation with processes such as gender relations and migratory processes.
We start from the assumption that collective memory constitutes a field of conflict where what is in question is not just the interpretations of the past, but the meanings of who we are as a society and our possible futures. The symbolic force of memory lies in its character as a producer of subjects, relationships and social imaginations, a power that becomes a potential source of resistance, instability and transformation. More or simply the fact of naming or sketching certain events does not guarantee their transformative character, but depends on the capacity of their practices to emphasize the hegemonic verses in force in a given social order. Taking on this challenge, in this training space we seek to jointly analyze the actions in which we are engaged in the world, problematizing the past verses that they produce and, at the same time, promoting the construction of new interpretations and meanings that encourage different and mobile ways of producing social subjects. The resurgence of authoritarian regimes in Latin America becomes urgent not only to remember the violence that they exercise in our recent history, but also to understand those elements that contribute to their restoration.
Always using memory as a key to understanding, we will explore its articulations with the political struggles that are not present. Let's do a critical reflection on the construction and political uses of memory spaces, the category of forced disappearance and its current uses, as well as the phenomenon of contemporary migrations. We invite you to think about the possible relationships between memory and gender, from a feminist perspective.
GENERAL OBJECTIVES
Conhecer e compreender os debates contemporâneos sobre memória coletiva, suas políticas e práticas; bem como as relações entre esta e a violência contemporânea, especialmente aquelas relacionadas à ação política, violência de gênero e aquelas relacionadas aos processos migratórios.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Discover and analyze experiences of development and implementation of memory policies, human rights and practices of resistance in Latin America.
Critically reflects on:
1. The articulations between collective memory processes and political struggles in Latin America.
2. As potencialidades que os espaços de memória têm para intervir no debate dos dilemas atuais que envolvem novas violências ou formas de violação de direitos.
3. A articulação do campo da memória e das perspetivas de género e feministas, tendo em consideração as consequências teóricas, metodológicas e políticas deste enquadramento.
4. A transformação e as possibilidades analíticas da categoria de desaparecimento a partir de sua transnacionalização e usos atuais em diversos contextos.
5. As potencialidades da análise inseridas entre memórias coletivas e migrações para enfatizar as compreensões tradicionais de ambos os fenômenos e abrir espaços para sua reconsideração.
6. As articulações entre as lutas políticas e a elaboração de memórias na arte latino-americana
A Especialização em Memórias Coletivas, Direitos Humanos e Resistências terá duração anual e requer para certificação a realização de um seminário intensivo, um curso internacional e dois seminários virtuais eletivos da oferta curricular, uma oficina de apoio à elaboração do trabalho final e a elaboração de um trabalho monográfico final.
Os alunos da especialização e do curso internacional terão o apoio de tutoras e tutores acadêmicos que acompanharão os seminários virtuais e orientarão a realização dos trabalhos finais.
Terminada a entrega dos seminários, os alunos terão um prazo de quatro meses para entrega do trabalho final. Se estiver pendente a conclusão de créditos, também terão esse prazo para cumpri-los.
A Especialização credencia 360 horas e o Curso Internacional o total de 90 horas.
















Os seminários virtuais serão oferecidos indistintamente em espanhol, português ou inglês. A bibliografia poderá ser oferecida nas três línguas oficiais do curso, de acordo com a disponibilidade. As intervenções dos alunos nos fóruns de discussão também poderão ser nessas línguas. O trabalho monográfico final poderá ser em espanhol, português ou inglês.
Current Debates on Collective Memories, Gender and Human Rights
This curricular unit aims to dialogue the knowledge and experiences produced around two processes of collective memory, practices of resistance and Human Rights. It will feature the participation of thinkers who, from various disciplines and contexts, will address the analysis of two processes of collective memory in relation to public policies, gender and feminism, art and culture, migratory processes, Human Rights, political violence, practices of resistance, museums, places of memory and monuments.

Summary: In Latin America, the concept of collective memory has been linked to reflection on the political violence of wars, armed confrontations and military dictatorships in recent decades. The confrontation of violence in the past has resulted in the development of memory policies, understood as both State policies and political actions of social organizations or political groups involved in the process of re-remembering the political conflicts experienced in their local contexts. We are going to focus on some emblematic cases in our region, such as Nicaragua, Colombia, Argentina and Chile.
We will see how, in current contexts, in different regions and countries of Latin America, the various practices of resistance to the current scenarios of exploration, expropriation, concentration of wealth and public and private violence, go back to a memory that recovers the different knowledges of political struggle, becoming an active memory. Not a global context, resistance tends to be local. We will do a review and analysis of resistance experiences in Mexico and the Andean interior of Peru, Argentina and Chile.
A critical analysis of the memory policies implemented in different Latin American countries leads us to argue that, with significant contributions made to understand the authoritative processes, dictatorships and political transitions in the region, as well as to confront and elaborate the consequences that these have in society and in people, it is a great challenge to understand. decode or establish links with the new sociopolitical realities that are developing in the region, as new developments in political violence and forms of resistance are articulated.
However, analyzing experiences of resistance in which memory is transformed into a political resource to act non-present will help us to rethink memory as an agent that contributes to transformation.

Summary: The course addresses the relationship between gender and memory, emphasizing two ways of understanding this articulation: on the one hand, understanding collective memory constructed by gender subjects, and on the other, exploring different feminist approaches present in this field of study. From this perspective, we analyze the memories prepared by activists, guerrillas, victims and other social agents in relationships with their non-present and non-past gender positions; bem as the continuities and discontinuities of two fathers and gender dynamics that occur in significant events that they narrate.
Por meio dessas análises, pretende-se analisar exercícios de contramemória (ARFUCH, 2013; LUONGO, 2013) ou memórias subalternas que enfatizam temas e perspectivas pouco exploradas nas memórias hegemônicas: por exemplo, visualizar como os ordenamentos de gênero são desestabilizados ou preservados na construção dessas memórias, ou como se estruturam processos híbridos de afetividade, ação política e resistência ao relembrar determinados eventos e contextos. Isso se deve ao fato de compreendermos que os sujeitos das memórias são agentes multiposicionais que se articulam por meio de acontecimentos/espaços (ZALAQUET, 2011).
Por fim, o curso analisará diversos estudos da memória coletiva de países ibero-americanos que justamente vertem uma perspectiva de gênero na compreensão dos processos de construção da memória coletiva, seja para tornar visíveis as experiências – de vitimização e/ou resistência política – que foram silenciadas por uma memória hegemônica masculinizada e heterossexista, ou para instalar compreensões de gênero do passado por meio de uma leitura crítica das formas como diferentes episódios são narrados a partir do presente.
Coordination: Marisela Montenegro (Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain) and Caterine Galaz (University of Chile)Summary: O objetivo desta unidade curricular é dialogar com os processos de memória coletiva e de migrações, com o interesse de iluminar novos contornos que nos permitam compreender melhor a complexidade de cada um, num contexto de globalização e capitalismo avançado.
Nesse sentido, abordaremos as nuances particulares dos problemas considerados fundamentais pelos estudos da memória como os lugares e as comemorações; disputas entre memórias oficiais e memórias informais; museificação e patrimonialização. Também com o objetivo de examinar dinâmicas como as memórias sem lugar e o “não lugar” das migrações; a interpelação dos imaginários da exclusão e os limites do pertencimento; as iniciativas culturais como alternativas de gestão das tensões políticas, seu caráter conflituoso e também suas potencialidades.
Da mesma forma, vamos nos debruçar em problemas que ganham força no estudo das migrações contemporâneas, como a diáspora e os espaços transnacionais; a subjetividade dos migrantes e os impactos dos regimes de mobilidade em seu futuro. Trata-se de analisar o tensionamento das fronteiras nacionais como contornos da memória coletiva e o potencial das memórias e contramemórias na configuração da resistência à subordinação e articulações da diferença (BRAIDOTTI, 2006), durante as trajetórias migratórias.

Summary: O curso reflete sobre a genealogia, transformação e possibilidades analíticas da categoria de desaparecimento. Usado para os casos da Argentina, Chile ou Uruguai nos anos 70, do México ou da Colômbia hoje, e se olharmos para trás e longe na Guerra Civil Espanhola, na Alemanha nazista dos anos 40, no Camboja do Khmer Vermelho nos anos 70 ou na Bósnia na guerra dos anos 90. São centenas, milhares e milhões de casos que são nomeados como desaparecimentos e desaparecimentos.

Summary: Este seminário busca refletir sobre as formas como as sociedades latino-americanas enfrentaram a violência política no passado, sejam ditaduras ou conflitos armados internos que vivenciaram ao longo do século XX e parte do XXI, por meio dos processos de memória empreendidos por diferentes atores sociais. Por meio deste seminário abordaremos as formas públicas de memória que se constroem sobre a violência do passado, analisando a capacidade crítica que os processos de memória implantados em diferentes países da região, como Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colômbia, Peru e Uruguai, questionam o presente dessas sociedades, em particular sobre as novas violências e os conflitos atuais.
