Emotions, Political Culture, Collective Memory, State CrimesAbstract
The article proposes to rethink the concept of political culture as the struggle for the construction of meaning in the social world, in an effort to adapt this concept to the needs of a qualitative research from a micro-social perspective by means of the inclusion of theoretical and methodological contributions coming from the sociologies of social movements and emotions. After this new conception is outlined, the article undertakes the analysis of the memory galleries presented by the Bogotá Chapter of the National Movement of Victims of State Crimes (MOVICE by its initials in Spanish), arguing that the main purpose of these commemorative public events is the transformation of the political culture of their observers, in a process of cognitive, emotional and moral re-socialization directed against the meanings, emotional rules and moral principles upholding certain structures and relations of domination at the macro-social level.
