Beskrivelse
The purpose of this book is to study the possibilities of historical memory in Colombia on the basis of the philosopher Walter Benjamin. In order to address the aforementioned problem, this book is structured in three parts. The first part contains a reconstruction of the concepts of historical memory applied in Colombia based on three sources: Colombian legislation, the Historical Memory Group of the National Commission for Reparation and Reconciliation, and some victims' organisations. The second part consists of a presentation of the main theses on historical memory, as understood by the philosopher Walter Benjamin in the book of passages and the Theses on History. The third part consists of an analysis of historical memory, as it is being implemented in Colombia, in relation to Benjamin's proposal for redemption.
