Abstract

PEREYRA, Ana Marisa. Trans Memory Archive: Digital images, photographs and the art of building memory. Inmediac. Comun [online]. 2024, vol.19, n.2, e208.  Epub Dec 01, 2024. ISSN 1510-5091.  https://doi.org/10.18861/ic.2024.19.2.3766.

The article addresses the Trans Memory Archive (AMT) of Argentina as a political expression of resistance -which seeks to contribute to the alteration of meaning in the public arena- in an eminently cisheteronormative symbolic order. The central approach revolves around the conception of AMT as an intellectual practice that seeks to intervene in the creation of meaning with the aim of participating in the construction of collective memory from the perspective of sex-gender dissidence. With this objective, its expression in digital archives will be analyzed and the elements and practices that make up AMT will be reflected upon as performative experiences, conceiving them as an expression of the mutation of the traditional archive, framed in the art of memory.

Keywords : archive; photography; digital image; trans; politcs; collective memory.
