Between lost memories and forgot. Two students massacres in Mexico: October 2, 1968 and June 10th, 1971

Abstract

Two student killings in a short span of time, less than three years. Mexico in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century lived in an authoritarian and repressive logic in different social and political orders. Fifty three years passed since the Tlatelolco massacre. Corpus Christi Thursday will be half a century. This work is a narrative reconstruction by the participants of these two movements who survived the bullets that in those days extinguished countless lives of their companions. The reconstruction is carried out from the theoretical perspective of collective memory. In methodological terms, one works from the narrative. Participants and young people who signify these events several decades away are interviewed; the collective, is that these events are of special relevance from a group logic
