Conclusion: The Politics of Postmemory

Abstract

The Conclusion reaffirms the considerable impact that recent developments in memory studies have had within Argentine cultural studies and acknowledges the theoretical debt to Marianne Hirsch’s work on postmemory. By drawing attention to emergent forms of cultural expression in Argentina, as well as to the ongoing politicization of cultural memory, the conclusion reaffirms the need to continually refine and re-evaluate the critical and theoretical tools we employ to study memory processes within the contemporary Argentine context.
