Objects that excite

Various objects have been material witnesses to experiences of violence and conflict in Latin America. In this book, what is preserved in museums, in ruined places, in landscapes, in archives, in bodies of water, or even in human bodies, helps us understand the adversities that have occurred on our continent. Researchers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico study the inseparable link between materialities, emotions, and conflicts, allowing for a novel reading of the historical, political, and social processes that have shaped the destiny of our countries.
