Vol. 2 No. 44 (2020): Semiotics and post- memory

This issue of Tópicos del Seminario is dedicated to the study of post-memory, understood as the transmission of the memory of the generation that experienced collective trauma firsthand to subsequent generations. Based on the dialogue between different disciplines, and starting from the analysis of the most diverse historical experiences –the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, the dictatorships of Latin America… -, this joint reflection is oriented towards the conceptualization and theorization of said phenomenon thanks to the identification of its "invariable" foundations, its scope and its limits.

From the body to the discourse, and from the unrepresentable of extreme experience to its possible elaboration, each author thus contributes elements of response to the enigma of post-memory, exploring the area in which it constructs a universe of significance.
