Multidirectionality in action: Reshaping geographies of memory in a suburb of Buenos Aires

Abstract

In this article we propose a model of community memory work inspired by Michael Rothberg`s multidirectional memory and based on a research-intervention experience we carried out with teenagers in marginal areas of suburban Buenos Aires in 2022-2023. We claim that memorial community work can resignify spaces by recreating dedicated memory sites and including new spaces in a multilayered narrative of memory and future that carries out, in essence, a multidirectionality in action. We will start by analyzing the theoretical, methodological and pedagogical underpinnings of ?Intimate Cartographies in Community¨ a research-intervention project we carried out in high schools in marginal areas of suburban Buenos Aires during the years 2022-2023 (https://edjam.network/project/intimate-cartographies-in-community/) and then offer an analysis of the results.
