Main Article Content
Abstract
(analytical): The purpose of this article is to reflect on the relationship between collective memory, childhood and participation in a pedagogical intervention that occurred in a memorial in Santiago, Chile. The authors used an ethnographical qualitative methodology, with the results showing that children's memories are developed in co-construction with adults, a process influenced by power relations between participants and that enable different dynamics of participation. These links may reproduce memories that are focused on the victim, their family circles and mourning, as well as transformative memories of resistance and social struggle in which the appropriation and identification of children with the memorial become important. The authors conclude by reflecting on the agency of children in the fields of memory and human rights.
Key words: Collective memory, childhood, dictatorship, social participation, Chile (Unesco Social Science Thesaurus).
