Una memoria espacial de la Ciudad de México. Entre espacio y monumentos revolucionarios

Abstract

From the convergence between space and monuments, this article seeks to confront and produce a spatial memory about the revolutionary memory of Mexico City. West art from the idea of a fiction that inhabits and produces a narrative about space and his relation to the memory and the ways of inhabiting the city. The object of study is bipartite and focuses on the Monument to the Mexican Revolution and the building of the Dirección Federal de Seguridad located in the Roma neigh borhood that functioned as a clandestine prison for many of the revolutionaries of the different dissidents in sixties and seventies in Mexico. Beyond the exploration of the places of memory, we intend to place a reflection on the rewriting of spaces and the impossibility of thinking only of an official State memory on the revolutionary processes in Mexico.
