Margarita Saona’s new book “Memory Matters in Transitional Peru” out today
"Margarita Saona examines the mechanisms activated by art and memorials built to commemorate traumatic events at the social level. By examining images, metonymic invocations, the use of proper names, auratic crime scenes, built environments, and digital outreach interventions, Memory Matters in Transitional Peru seeks to establish some of the cognitive and emotional responses that make us incorporate the past suffering of others as a painful legacy of our own."
