Abstract

Resumen: ?Cual es la relacion que las imagenes establecen con la memoria y la historia? En otras palabras: ?cual es la funcion que tienen las fotos en una determinada narracion de hechos pasados y, sobre todo, cual es la manera en que una imagen logra sintetizar ese hecho y ser casi un sustituto mnemonico de el? Queremos pensar en las imagenes no solamente como vehiculo de conocimiento y de memoria historica, sino tambien como constructor (no neutral) de una mirada tanto individual como colectiva. Finalmente, el texto quiere preguntarse si los colombianos comparten un determinado repertorio de imagenes de su pasado reciente y, en caso afirmativo, interrogarse por que esas, y no otras imagenes, se han impuesto. Para hacerlo, se utilizara criticamente el concepto de icono secular, que se aplicara a un ejercicio realizado con un grupo de estudiantes. Abstract: What is the relationship that images settle with memory and history? Or even better: what is the function that photographs have in a determinate narration of past facts? In what form an image is able to synthetize a fact and also to become a mnemonic substitute of it? We want to considerate images not only as knowledge and historical memory intermediate but also as a constructor (not neutral) of individual and collective look over the world. At the end, the text asks about the possibility of considering a Colombian shared repertory of recent images. If this repertory exists, like we think, we want to ask why these images and not another have prevail over the rest. To answer that question, we use (in a critical perspective) the concept of secular icon, applied to an exercise that we made with a group of students.
