Border Town and Memory: The Sensitive Paths of Dissent

Abstract

The article analyzes the production of sensitivity regimes from the practices and experiences that are articulated in a community of disagreement exemplified in the case of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Based on the dispute that has meant the construction of the "Memorial de las mujeres víctimas de homicidio por razones de género en Ciudad Juárez, México," a result of the judgment issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights against the Mexican state in November 2010, analyze how they have been generating at least two different projects that bear a sensitive and complete construction of the event, of what it means to live this border town.
