Vol 2 No 3 (2025): Elusive Archives, Dissident Bodies, Elusive Patrimonies and Devastated Territories
In this third issue of Memorias Disidentes we reaffirm the importance of this university and transnational publishing project, produced by the hard work and against the current of unstable spirits and precarious times we live in. The issue presents an academic section with articles with a varied thematic range that goes from critical studies of the archive, the collective memories of dissident political bodies, reflections on the policies of conservation of cult images and monuments intervened by social movements, and rereadings of the discourses of power on indigenous ethnicities and writings of war in classic texts revisited from critical perspectives that attempt to locate the works of othering to make the narratives more complex. The Instituting Languages section ̶ our distinctive insignia in this dissident project ̶ offers four individual and collective collaborations that express in other keys (through the images of photography, dance, poetry and activist research) collective and community creativity to explore underlying themes, such as: intentional forest fires, the revival of racist colonialisms in indigenous territories and their poetic reflection from a Mapuche perspective, the neo-extractivist advance of large-scale mining in indigenous territories in Argentina, and the collective creation of dissident archives for the Brazilian LGBTQIAPN+ movement. Finally, this issue is completed with the Reviews Section where we share four reviews of valuable titles that strongly contribute to the central themes of interest in this magazine.
