DESCRIPTION:Memory\, Performance\, and the Politics of Urban Space\nin Post
 war Guatemala&nbsp\;A talk by\n\nAndrew Bentley\, Indiana University \n\nI
 n\nGuatemala\, as in other post-conflict Latin American countries\, memory
  has\nemerged as a main tenet of culture. Yet\, performing memory is no si
 mple act. From\n1960 to 1996\, the country suffered one of the longest per
 iods of internal armed\nconflicts in Latin American history\, resulting in
  the deaths\, disappearances\,\nor displacement of over half a million peo
 ple. In the postwar era\, memory is\nthe focal point of cultural productio
 n about urban space as people stage creative interventions to\nmake repres
 entational sense of violence. Following recent Latin American\ncultural cr
 iticism about memory and performance (Taylor 2016\, Lazzara 2017\,\nMurphy
  2018)\, this presentation will move through different urban registers—the
 \nstreet performances of Regina José Galindo and H.I.J.O.S. photographs of
 \ndisappeared persons in downtown Guatemala City—to understand memory as a
 n\neveryday life enactment of social justice. Sponsored by Moynihan Instit
 ute of Global Affairs\, Program on Latin America and the Caribbean (PLACA)
