This article examines the intersections between memory, documentary, and animation through an analysis of the film Gurs, historia y memoria (2017). Verónica Sáenz's documentary incorporates animated sequences by the renowned cartoonist Paco Roca to recuperate the memories of Spanish Republican exiles in the French camp Gurs. Although the graphic novel of the Spanish Civil War has piqued the interest of academics and critics, there are few studies devoted to the intersections between this genre and animation. In this article, I propose that the animated segments of Gurs, historia y memoria function as a reflective membrane that regulates the viewer's affective response based on the affirmative and future-centric structure of hope, with the goal of reconstructing a multidirectional memory of the Gurs camp aimed at promoting solidarity with Syrian refugees.

Este ensayo tiene como objetivo presentar dos paradigmas importantes que informan parte del debate contemporáneo sobre los derechos humanos, a saber, el paradigma del campo de concentración —en el que se encuentran pensadores como Hannah Arendt, Giorgio Agamben, Judith Butler y, en menor medida, Michel Foucault— y el paradigma de la colonización —al que están vinculados Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Walter Mignolo y Achille Mbembe—. Para alcanzar el objetivo, comenzaremos con una breve presentación de la versión hegemónica del discurso de los derechos humanos y sus principales suposiciones. Se toma el pensamiento del politólogo Norberto Bobbio como modelo de esta perspectiva predominante. Luego, se exponen algunas de las ideas principales del paradigma del campo de concentración, sin perder de vista las diferencias entre los pensadores del grupo, y se las confronta con reflexiones de los pensadores que se atrevieron a sacar la colonización del lugar del “simple” evento histórico para elevarla a un estado teórico-metodológico con consecuencias por repensar las relaciones entre modernidad y derecho. Finalmente, se sugiere la necesidad de un diálogo interepistémico entre ambos paradigmas como una manera de ampliar las gramáticas de la dignidad en un mundo cada vez más marcado por la falta de respeto a los derechos humanos.

El artículo se propone hacer un aporte al estudio del testimonio en España a partir de la consideración de dos volúmenes pertenecientes al corpus de la narrativa testimonial sobre el éxodo de 1939, los campos de concentración franceses y la salida al exilio, escritas por dos autores supervivientes de dichas experiencias, Avel•lí Artís-Gener y José Bort-Vela. Sus dos obras, La diáspora republicana (1975) y La angustia de vivir (1977), publicadas durante el denominado “tardofranquismo” y el período de la transición democrática respectivamente, demuestran una persistente tensión entre dos fuerzas que pujan por el sentido: por un lado, la impulsada por autores y editores, representantes del colectivo republicano, quienes intentan restablecer su propia versión sobre el pasado de la guerra y los campos; y por el otro, la fuerza del Régimen franquista, representada por la institución de la censura, que hasta último momento impuso su control y sus reglas conservadoras para reproducir una retórica que lo desmarcara de sus responsabilidades frente al destino de los exiliados o bien, que acentuara su derrota.

Los diarios de Eulalio Ferrer Rodríguez, escritos en los campos de concentración franceses en 1939 y publicados medio siglo después, revelan una parte importante de la memoria del exilio republicano español. Sin detenerse en el aspecto traumático del encierro en los campos, la narración de Ferrer Rodríguez más bien resalta, mediante su “refugio” en la lectura de Cervantes, una determinada representación de la identidad que estaban tratando de forjar los exiliados. Este ejercicio de la memoria como práctica identitaria tendría luego una continuidad plasmada en la fundación del Museo Iconográfico de Cervantes de Ferrer Rodríguez en México, inspirado en su lectura cervantina. Este museo ha servido como un espacio testimonial de la memoria transatlántica del exilio español.

El documental Austerlitz describe el fenómeno turístico que sucede en los antiguos campos de concentración nazi Sachsenhausen y Dachau en Alemania. El director, observando a través de su cámara, como un personaje omnipresente, busca exponer el comportamiento actual que tienen los turistas al concurrir a esos espacios, que hoy son utilizados como centros conmemorativos de lo que sucedió durante el Holocausto y son visitados por infinidad de personas diariamente. En este marco, el presente trabajo tiene como propósito realizar un análisis del documental mentado, utilizando el método análitico. Ello a través del estudio de los elementos comunicacionales, datos contextuales y las herramientas de recolección de datos utilizadas por el director, proponiendo con que otra metodología se podría complementar, para así lograr su cometido de identificar de qué manera los seres humanos registran su propia historia y si preservan el significado y el recuerdo de lo que acaeció allí durante la 2da. Guerra Mundial.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar a través de un recorrido cronológico, la función que desempeñó la música en un contexto comprendido entre los años 1933 y 1945, en los países ocupados por la Alemania nazi. El presente trabajo recoge información mediante un análisis documental y testimonial de relatos provenientes de historias de vida de supervivientes y descendientes de estos, que abordan la música como un instrumento fundamental para el aparato propagandístico del régimen Nazi y también como un medio de salvación para muchos prisioneros de los guetos y campos de concentración y exterminio. Las vivencias de estos sujetos se convierten en información significativa, para entender el poder de la música en situaciones extremas como las vividas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

La intertextualidad es una característica clave en la obra de Jorge Semprún que ha sido abordada en gran cantidad de estudios a través de diferentes enfoques. No obstante, se observa un vacío en la profundización del papel que cumple la poesía española en sus novelas. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las diversas funciones de la poesía española, en concreto de Federico García Lorca, Rafael Alberti y César Vallejo, en la producción concentracionaria de Jorge Semprún. Se observará que, para el sujeto que vive una experiencia traumática, la poesía es sustento moral, ayuda a comprender y a reconstruir la identidad, llega incluso a ser un personaje más en las novelas.

As part of its repressive programme, Franco's regime significantly limited the publication of literature in Catalan, a language that was pejoratively reduced to the category of dialect. In that context, the decision of writing and editing books in Catalan during the military dictatorship (1939–75) was itself an act of resistance. This article studies a series of testimonial narratives that were published in the late 1960s and early 1970s in Spain about French concentration camps, including Crist de 200.000 braços. Refugiats catalans als camps de concentració francesos (1968), by Agustí Bartra; El desgavell (1969), by Ferran Planes; and Cartes des dels camps de concentració (1972), by Pere Vives i Clavé. Testimonial narratives about French concentration camps already circulated in the countries where Spanish intellectuals were exiled. However, writers such as Bartra, Planes, Vives i Clavé (survivors of Argelès-sur-Mer, Saint-Cyprien and other French concentration camps) and some Catalan editors committed to the Republican cause were interested in telling their traumatic experiences to Spanish and Catalan readers living in Spain. Therefore, they undertook the task of editing these works although in many cases they were strongly censored. Taking this into account, the purpose of this article is to analyse some aspects of these editions in order to consider how their testimonial narratives remain in constant tension between two forces: Republican writers' intention to show their own version of recent history and the Spanish government's imposition of its own institutional and conservative official discourse.

This text aims to problematize the prominent place that the concentration camp occupies in the thought of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, specifically in the first works of Homo Sacer series. In this sense, we return to Michel Foucault's thought, namely in History of Madness, identifying the General Hospital and the large internment in the light of biopower and sovereign power notions. We also analyze how Agamben uses such concepts questioning the problematic space that the Italian philosopher grants to the mentally ill in Sovereign Power and the Naked Life and the consequences of such an option in the rest of his thought. We hope to demonstrate that a theory about biopower and tanatopolitics should have a broader scope in order to not omit other experiences of will. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este texto analizo la economía de la desaparición de los siglos XX y XXI desde un punto de vista arqueológico. Analizo, desde postulados biopolíticos, la desaparición física de seres humanos y la aniquilación de subjetividades como parte de un sistema de eliminación más amplio, en el cual se incluye la ocultación del ciclo de consumo capitalista. A partir de ejemplos concretos, argumento que el poder contemporáneo se oculta o virtualiza para llevar a cabo la desaparición; que existe una homología entre la aniquilación de personas y cosas (con la basura como concepto unificador), que la desaparición de la desaparición (el borrado de huellas) es imposible y que la arqueología permite frustrar la fantasía de los perpetradores. El artículo concluye con la descripción de dos casos de estudio que representan la transformación de las economías de desaparición a lo largo de casi un siglo: un campo de concentración como paradigma de la vieja economía y un espacio de marginalidad como ejemplo de la nueva.

This article sheds light on the adventures of the Germans and citizens from other Axis countries resident in Latin America during the Second World War. Considered a threat to hemispheric security, and given the political, economic and diplomatic pressure exercised by the United States in the region, the Italians, Japanese, and especially the Germans were subject to expulsion, reclusion, and expropriation. This interference, aimed at aligning all the governments in a common struggle against the foreign enemy shed light on the fact that the Good Neighbour Policy, established by the northern power after the Great Depression to repair its relations with Latin America, in truth, was used during the war to exaggerate what a danger they were and, as such, combat –in an apparent framework of legality, and in law- competitors that hindered the expansion of North American capital. The article outlines the way in which deportations, Proclaimed Lists or blacklists, confinement in concentration camps, expropriations and the nationalization of the property of citizens for the Axis countries, especially Germans, were used to make it easier for people from the US to enter Latin America together with their industries and businesses. This occurred in the context of industrialisation that a number of countries were developing and in which the US was also interested as a way to expand its economic imperialism.

La comunidad japonesa-americana se ha visto marcada por la experiencia del internamiento en campos de concentración a consecuencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este hecho histórico demostró que a pesar del carácter multicultural de las sociedades estadounidense y canadiense lo que prevalecía era la noción de la supremacía blanca. Joy Kogawa y Mitsuye Yamada fueron de las primeras voces que rompieron con el silencio de canadienses y estadounidenses de origen japonés. Ambas exploran cómo las políticas racistas de sus respectivos países han afectado no sólo sus vidas, sino también las de sus antepasados y la de las generaciones más jóvenes. Abstract: The Japanese American community has been deeply marked by the internment experience as a result of the Second World War. This historical event demonstrated the fact that, despite the multicultural nature of U.S. and Canadian societies, notions of white supremacy were the ones that prevailed. Joy Kogawa and Mitsuye Yamada were two of the first voices that emerged breaking the silence of Canadian and American citizens of Japanese origin. They explore the ways in which the racist policies of their respective countries had affected not only their own lives, but also that of their ancestors and of the younger generations.

En los campos de concentración nacionalsocialistas se transforma la concepción de la muerte hasta límites desconocidos en la historia. La noción arraigada en la civilización que interpreta la muerte como el principio individualizador final y determinante de la experiencia humana desaparece de manera categórica y, más bien, nos enfrentamos a una producción mecánica de cadáveres en masa. A partir del corpus testimonial legado por los supervivientes, es posible reflexionar sobre su concepción relativa a esa muerte propia y ajena. Explorando la literatura concentracionaria, además, hallamos pruebas de cómo los reclusos logran, entre esa sistemática banalización de la muerte, encontrar significado y singularizar algunos fallecimientos para, de ese modo, conseguir reafirmarse como seres humanos. Para acotar el objeto de estudio de este trabajo y asegurar un análisis contextualizado, nos centraremos principalmente en experiencias y recuerdos de supervivientes judíos del complejo Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The importance of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to China, economically, politically, and strategically, cannot be overstated. Covering 640,000 square miles, Uyghuristan is approximately the size of Iran. Located in the far west, it is Beijing's largest administrative unit encompassing one-sixth of China's territory. Due to an abundance of coal, natural gas, and oil, accounting for roughly a quarter of China's total reserves, Uyghuristan has been described as the country's "national energy strategy base." These energy resources have been indispensable to "growing" the Chinese economy and maintaining the Chinese Communist Party in power. Strategically, Uyghuristan is the vital link for the Chinese economy's increasing need for imported oil from Central Asia and, through the Pakistan pipeline corridor, the Persian Gulf. It is the key to the success of Beijing's ambitious "One Road, One Belt Initiative" to link the economies of Eurasia to China through infrastructure development. The most important strategic value of Uyghuristan, however, resides in its geography. Consisting mostly of mountains and deserts, the sheer vastness of this inhospitable land provides a natural barrier protecting "China Proper", the heavily populated lands in the east of the country lying between the Yellow River in the north and the Xi River in the south, from land invasions. For these reasons, China will not relinquish control over Uyghuristan, its resources or its people. The people are Uyghurs, a Turkic Muslim nation, who have been seeking their political independence for most of the Twentieth Century. The fall of the last imperial dynasty of China, the Qing, in 1911, was followed by the collapse of the Chinese state. In the ensuing political instability, the Uyghurs declared their independence as the East Turkestan Republic - twice. The first time was in 1933 and endured until suppressed by Nationalist Chinese forces under Chiang Kai-shek in 1934. A second East Turkestan Republic was established in 1944 and lasted until it was overthrown by Communist Chinese forces under Mao Zedong in 1949. Since the 1990s, Beijing has initiated measures to permanently secure Uyghuristan to China by colonizing the land with Chinese settlers. These policies have succeeded in reducing Uyghurs from a majority to a plurality. The objective appears to be to make Uyghurs a demographic minority in their own homeland. Chinese colonization has provoked riots by Uyghurs, ethnic clashes between Uyghurs and Chinese migrants, and repeated calls by Uyghurs for their right to self-determination. Beijing's response as reflected in its 2014 "strike hard campaign against terrorism, separatism, and religious extremism" has, itself, been extreme. In the words of a UN human rights panel, Uyghuristan now resembles a "massive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy, a sort of 'no rights zone'...members of the Uyghur community and other Muslims were being treated as 'enemies of the state' solely on the basis of their ethno-religious identity." This article will examine these issues and the fundamental question they raise -- are Uyghurs victims of genocide as legally defined by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide?.

This paper examines the universal phenomenon of concentration camp literature. The article departs from texts written by individuals who survived Nazi concentration camps, the Soviet Gulag, or French internment camps, with the aim of reflecting upon the formal, thematic and pragmatic traits that define this type of literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El presente trabajo pretende analizar la interrelación entre la ayuda humanitaria suiza y el arte que se genera en torno a ella por sus voluntarios, socorridos y fotógrafos ajenos a la organización, dentro del margen temporal de 1939 a 1943 en el sur de Francia. Las respuestas creativas concretas de los involucrados a favor de la supervivencia psicológica y económica ante los retos de un contexto bélico adverso en los campos de concentración de Argelès-sur-Mer y Gurs son objeto de estudio, sobre todo la obra artística relevante.This paper analyses the relationship between the Swiss humanitarian aid and the art that is generated around it by its members, the rescued and photographers outside the organisation, in the temporal margin of 1939-1943 in France. The study implies the creative responses of the involved, especially the relevant artwork, in favour of the psychological and economical survival and against the challenges of an adverse military context in the French concentration camps of Argelès-sur-Mer and Gurs.

El siguiente artículo propone una lectura contrapuesta de dos obras en torno al mismo acontecimiento: La especie humana, de Robert Antelme, y El dolor, de Marguerite Duras. Si la experiencia de Antelme en un campo de concentración alemán desemboca en un humanismo que reivindica nuestra pertenencia a una misma especie, el relato de Duras, entre la espera y la vuelta de su marido, parece ahondarse en los abismos de un horror inefable. Tras esta oposición, no se nos muestran sólo dos visiones o estilos opuestos, sino que su complementariedad constituye, mediante una suerte de quiasmo, el fundamento de la relación ética según la concibe Emmanuel Lévinas. Dicha relación restituye, en el espacio vacío que subyace entre ambas perspectivas, la posibilidad de un testimonio que abarque lo innombrable.

Résumé : Acteur et témoin de la guerre, de l’exode, des camps et de l’exil, mais aussi écrivain capable de passer du réalisme à la fantaisie la plus débridée, Max Aub, dans le domaine de l’évocation de l’exil consécutif à la Guerre civile espagnole (1936-1939) va faire la part belle à l’uchronie, genre vers lequel il reviendra à la fin de sa vie. Il fut également un des premiers a proposer une approche narrative décalée de l’exil et des camps. Resumen: Actor y testigo de la guerra civil, el éxodo, los campos y el exilio, pero también escritor capaz de alternar el realismo con la fantasía más desenfrenada, Max Aub, en lo tocante a la evocación del exilio consecutivo a la guerra civil española (1936-1939) va a conceder gran importancia a la ucronía, un género que volverá a cultivar al final de su vida. Fue también uno de los primeros en proponer un enfoque narrativo desfasado del exilio y los campos. Summary: Actor and witness of the civil war, the exodus, and exile camps, but also a writer capable of alternating realism with the wildest fantasy, Max Aub, with respect to the evocation of exile consecutive to Spanish civil war (1936 -1939) will attributes considerable importance to the ucronía, a genre that will grow at the end of his life. It was also one of the first to propose a narrative approach to exile outdated and fields.

This paper examines the photographs that media and sectors of opinion named "the concentration camps of the farc" in Colombia. Used as analogies of the Nazis concentration camps, these pictures published by the first time in October, 2000, were erected in "templates" of the unforgivable horror. The reflection raises how the narratives and the images of the media are constituted in vehicles with capacity to guide the memory not only of the past, but of the present and the future.

El trabajo se propone explorar algunos antecedentes discursivos provenientes de la prensa clerical cordobesa, con el objetivo de dar cuenta de aspectos significativos del fenómeno de la violencia política que se desplegó en Argentina a partir de la imposición de los regímenes militares de setiembre de 1930 y junio de 1943. La idea es establecer las principales características del discurso nacionalista y clerical que rodeó la conformación de los miliares como actores políticos de primer orden, a través de la descripción y el análisis de algunos antecedentes históricos, haciendo hincapié en las definiciones que propusieron los tradicionales aliados civiles cordobeses de las dictaduras militares respecto de la sociedad y la cultura nacional, el rol de las masas y el estatus político de los actores corporativos como la iglesia o el ejército argentino. Finalmente se ensayará una conclusión provisoria sobre del destino final de este universo discursivo binario definido a lo largo de las primeras dictaduras militares que asolaron el siglo XX Argentino, tomando como objeto de análisis la última experiencia militar en el gobierno y sus implicancias políticas.
