Abstract
This chapter seeks to examine how and why historical events are remembered, particularly those linked to the coup d'état, the dictatorship and the return to democracy in Uruguay. This research aims to investigate the subjective configuration of memories related to the civic-military dictatorship in Uruguay between 1973 and 1985, through a quantitative analysis of data on historical events, comparing different age cohorts and the responses of men and women. This analysis will be based on two analytical approaches: the generational perspective, or how a cohort of people that went through a historical period that marked their lives perceives historical events, and the gender perspective, that analyzes differences between men and women in the significance of these socio-historical facts in their biographical trajectories. We try to contribute to the collective memory of the dictatorship, from the perspective of the actors who lived that socio-historical period at a particular moment in their lives. For this, data from the CEVI study of 2016 (Paredes, 2016) and a study on transitional justice in Uruguay 2012-14 were used and analyzed (Arnoso and da Costa, 2015). The amount of remembering of events and the reasons to remember the coup d'état, the dictatorship and the democratic transition will be analyzed. In addition, we aspire to explore the level of social sharing over this period and the emotions associated with the past and transitional justice activities. The social representations of history are the shared beliefs about the group's past (national or political in this case,) that are based on collective experiences and communication about them. This chapter approaches these two aspects theoretically and empirically (see the Mathias et al chapter in this book for the articulation between collective memory and social representations).
