Memorias vivas de una plaza de mercado: semióticas de la violencia que perviven en las prácticas cotidianas de la Central de Abastos de Bogotá

Abstract

This study extends the art state on market squares and their memorial character and cultural exchange, and from there questions about the memory´s dynamics in the Bogotá´s Supply Center, specifically their memories about violence. For this, it takes up the conceptualizations of cultural violence, daily practices and common sense, as well as living memory, to result in the proposal to the field of study of a model of memories´s semiotic analysis. The latter has the objective of revealing the social meaning in daily practices of people. This is from his living, practiced or functional memory. It is concluded that the study of practiced memory can be semiotically analyzed in four dimensions: functional, aesthetic, anchoring and finally affective; that the Corabastos´s daily practices can be combined in the action of "Rebuscar", and that the social sense behind this last one in the face of the past of violence is "Sobrevivir".
