Abstract

This article presents a scientific reflection on the meaning of historical memory in different localities of the east of Chalatenango (in the northcentral zone of El Salvador) and in the north of Morazán, where the political-military conflict developed from the 1970s. The accounts of the current inhabitants of these towns speak about the life of their populations before the conflict, what happened during the armed conflict and the reconstruction of their villages after the Peace Accords. This historical discourse is of great importance to understand the construction of culture in contemporary society and its projection towards future, becoming an ideological foundation for the creation of a new type of society and culture at the beginning of the 21st century.
