Abstract
The article aims to analyze the work of art Cantos silentes en cuerpos de madera by Leonel Vásquez as an alternative narrative of the Internal Armed Conflict in Colombia. This narrative resists the hegemonic perception of the past that often ignores the experiences of the victims and seeks to tell the story of what happened from a single perspective. On the other hand, the selected artwork establishes a relationship with the past that highlights the multiplicity of experiences of violence and attends to the voices of the victims. To understand this better, Benjamin’s postulates on history are going to guide the analysis. This case study will contribute to the understanding of how art can create complex memories of experiences of violence through its symbolic language and inclusive character, creating the space for justice in our relation towards the past and the victims of war.
本文旨在分析Leonel Vásquez的艺术作品Cantos silentes en cuerpos de madera作为哥伦比亚内部武装冲突的另一种叙事方式。这种叙述抵制了对过去的霸权观念,这种观念往往忽视了受害者的经历,并试图从单一的角度讲述发生的事情。另一方面,所选的艺术作品与过去建立了一种关系,突出了暴力经历的多样性,并关注受害者的声音。为了更好地理解这一点,本雅明关于历史的假设将指导分析。这个案例研究将有助于理解艺术如何通过其象征性的语言和包容性的特征来创造暴力经历的复杂记忆,在我们与过去和战争受害者的关系中创造正义的空间。
