“…Guha has argued this situation for India, where official versions of history have never reached the majority to establish itself as hegemonic common sense (Guha 1998). The same can be said of European Cold War memory: key elements of Cold War representation in historiography and popular culture are missing from the accounts of those who lived on both sides of the very Iron Curtain (Molden 2010 and. Generally, more polyphonic and nuanced landscapes of memory are available than many widely-cited sources would suggest.…”

Tricontinentalism, the radical ideational universe of the Global South so important in the 1960s and 1970s, lost much of its original thrust with the neoliberal turn, and its contribution to global history has long been obscured. Recently, however, historians, political theorists and others have been studying its take on global justice and the multiple impacts of its political strategies, ideological rhetoric, identity formations, as well as its many transnational connections: traces still recognisable in the repertoire of social movements today. By unearthing these strands and constellations of global history, and by sometimes cooperating with activists, these scholars act as Foucauldian genealogists, laying bare sediments of historical agency that the hegemonic memory formation of neoliberalism had all but buried. Such efforts constitute a form of counter-history in the competitive field of political memory. This paper applies elements of mnemonic hegemony theory (mht) to analyse Tricontinental memory, with a particular focus on Latin America.

“…La genealogía del Holocausto-Vietnam-Guatemala se puede reconstruir a través de los argumentos históricos y jurídicos en los discursos de estas décadas (Molden, 2010;Molden, 2015). Desde esta perspectiva analítica, la historia centroamericana parece ser un ambiente condensado de entrecruzamientos entre actores revolucionarios y antiimperialistas, entre anticomunistas y contrarrevolucionarios, tanto en términos de la historia como de la memoria.…”

Este artículo analiza la historia de la guerra civil de Guatemala, tomando sus conflictos internos armados e intelectuales en contextos centroamericanos, hemisféricos y globales como la base material de la posterior memoria histórica de este periodo, igual de transnacional y también un campo de protagonismo político historizable. Primero, los actores revolucionarios y contrarrevolucionarios son analizados a la luz de sus vínculos transnacionales con redes, entornos discursivos y estrategias de poder que trascienden las fronteras de cada Estado nación y de la región en estudio. Además, la constelación global de la descolonización y la Guerra Fría prestan el trasfondo estructural ante el cual se desarrollaron los actores y las estrategias específicas y contingentes -un contexto amplio de contactos y transferencias que contribuyen a definir las decisiones y alternativas tácticas de cada actor-. Este contexto produjo no solo historias cruzadas, sino también memorias cruzadas. Estas últimas en un doble sentido: por un lado, las historias representadas en las narraciones sobre los antagónicos guatemaltecos y centroamericanos reflejan acontecimientos determinados por constelaciones transnacionales, y, por otro lado, estas narraciones en sí mismas han sido construidas en espacios discursivos transnacionales.Palabras clave: Guatemala; Centroamérica; Guerra Fría; historia cruzada; historia intelectual transnacional; memoria histórica. AbstractThis essay looks at the history of Guatemala's civil war, its internal armed and intellectual conflicts in their Centralamerican, hemispheric and global contexts, understanding them as the transnational material basis of the equally transnational historical memory of this period, itself a historicizable field of political agency. First, the revolutionary and counterrevolutionary actors are analyzed in the light of their transnational entwinements in networks, discursive environments and power strategies beyond the borders of each nation state and of the region itself. The global constallation of decolonization and the Cold War provides the structural backdrop against which these specific contingent strategies and actors develop, a larger context of contacts and transfers co-defining each actors decisions and range of tactical choices. This context produced not only historias cruzadas, but also memorias cruzadas -in double sense: one the one hand, the histories represented in the narratives about Guatemalan and Central American antagonisms reflect transnationally determined occurences; on the other, these narratives have themselves been constructed in transnational discursive spaces.
