Descripción
Sumario:This article aims at providing an account, from an anthropological perspective, of the interrelationship between objects, memories and identities in the context of concentration camp experiences. It is based on research conducted for staging the exhibition (Sobre)VIDAS -part of the site museum at the Extermination Center, former clandestine prison and torture center formerly known as La Perla- in which we address diverse issues of the concentration experience through objects kept by some survivors. The article explores the role of objects as social frameworks of memory, and their potential for conveying such experiences in judicial and museum contextual conditions. Finally, it encourages debate about the ethical, aesthetic and political challenges posed by the exhibition of objects related to the extermination, comparing the meanings that this kind of devices acquires in different national contexts.
