Political violence, Nicaragua-History, Sandinista People’s Revolution, 1979Abstract
In this work, the author seeks to explain the relationship between memory and political violence of the Nicaraguan “recent past” that began in 1979 on the occasion of the Sandinista revolution. The author considers that the memory regarding that recent past is notoriously “institutional”, i.e., shaped both by the State and the interests of the elites that have been the protagonists of the recurrent political violence without which content and meaning could be given to the history of the country. The “resizing” of violence is proposed as a primary and urgent task in order to “unframe” and democratize Nicaraguan memory, institutionalized, a reflection of the projects of the elites, especially in the context of the repressive spiral perpetrated against the population by Daniel Ortega’s government since 2018.
