Dossier: Student Movements in Latin America. After the Fiftieth Anniversary of the '68s.
Commemorations, anniversaries, and the like are not mere remembrances of past events identified as outstanding and defining of the societies in which they originated. As Le Goff highlights, "Collective memory...is not just a conquest: it is an instrument and an aim of power." (Le Goff, 1991, p. 181). Thus, memory is re-edified within the framework of challenges and questions whose answers pose the need to reflect critically on the past, on the history of societies from their present. The interpretations and reinterpretations of this past are different, not only because their foundations rest on a specific school or historiographical current and on specific criteria or sources, but also because they have different uses and respond to questions and demands of contemporary societies.
