The Salt Houses: Spatiality and Affection in the Memories of Childhoods in Exile
Abstract
In this text I present some progress in my ongoing doctoral research, in which I explore, from a biographical perspective, the memories of those who had the experience of having been children during the forced exile of the last dictatorships in Uruguay and Argentina. In this opportunity, I focus on investigating some articulations on memory, space and childhood, which arise from the memories of “those” children. In particular, in the house as a space where several meanings and initial forms of bond and intimacy are combined. These related memories open new accesses to understand not only the place of the children of that time in the transits of exile, but also the senses that are reworked in the present.
