¿Para qué sirven las memorias LGTBIQA+?
Abstract
Considering the testimonies about the act of giving testimony in an LGBTQIA+ oral archive project, this article analyzes the relevance of memory work for sexual and gender dissidences. The interviewees’ responses engage with reflections from feminist, queer, and intersectional memory studies. Recurring motivations include visibility and recognition, the particular nature of memory for the community, and the relationship of testimony to the past, the future, and also the present. These collective considerations can inform the construction of memory and historical research projects, contributing to broadening the horizons of rights and freedoms.
