Memory, subjectivities, and representation

approaches to oral history in Latin America, Portugal, and Spain

"Eleven new essays originally written in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, present diverse scholarly approaches to oral narratives in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking worlds. The essays explore individual and collective memories of conflictive national pasts, the body and emotional memory, subjectivity in re/framing social identities, and visual and performative re/presentations of memory"--
