Víctor Vich "Noticia última: los nuevos lenguajes de la memoria"
(Breaking News: The New Languages of Memory)
Español:
Esta ponencia estudia a tres artistas peruanos que eran muy jóvenes cuando la violencia política (1980-2000) se desplegaba por todo el país y que casi no tienen recuerdos directos de ella. Sin embargo, valiéndose de nuevos lenguajes plásticos, y de los propios imaginarios de su generación, consiguen visualizarla con real fuerza estética. Valiéndose de la categoría de 'anamnesia', la ponencia reflexiona sobre los caminos y disputas que afronta el discurso de la memoria en el país.
English:
This paper studies three Peruvian artists who were very young when the political violence (1980-2000) was unfolding all over the country, and who have almost no direct memories of it. However, using new visual languages and their generation's own imaginaries, they managed to visualise it with real aesthetic force. By employing the category of 'anamnesia', the paper reflects on the paths and disputes faced by the discourse of memory in the country.
