In this paper, the author approaches the memory struggles about the violent recent past in Latin America. First, she makes an inventory of the contemporary boom of memory in most contemporary Western societies, of its times and periodisations, its causes and its centers of interest, in order to show how in the 90’s the subject arrives in Latin America, especially to post-dictatorship countries of the South Cone. Second, she analyses the relationships between politics, violence, memory and present in Latin America, as well as the main memories in struggle about the recent past.
