    Las disputas políticas contemporáneas en torno al pasado suelen ser caracterizadas como luchas entre los hechos históricos y las narrativas construidas alrededor de esos hechos. Esta presentación retorna a la tradición retórica clásica para pensar la relación entre memoria y retórica y la relación entre hechos y relatos. Me baso en un ejemplo concreto sobre los esfuerzos para recordar una comunidad desplazada y el intercambio entre hechos materiales y narrativas de la comunidad

    Contemporary political disputes over the past are often characterized as a struggle between the historical facts and the narratives that are constructed about those facts. This presentation returns to the classical rhetorical tradition to think about the relationship between memory and rhetoric and the relationship between facts and accounts. The talk is grounded in a concrete example of efforts to remember a displaced community and the interplay between material facts and communal narratives.
