Migrations, cultural memory, digital heritage, archives, museographyAbstract
This special issue examines migratory experience as a matter of memory and the politics of remembrance.
From the distinction between communicative and cultural memory to the transnational circulation of traces
and narratives, it considers archives, family collections, newspaper repositories, museums, and digital
platforms as active agents that shape communities and steer public deliberation. The digital realm enables
open, interoperable corpora yet demands responsible criteria for description, access, and preservation. It
also addresses archival critique and postcolonial perspectives, the ethics of images and testimony, and
curatorial challenges of exhibiting mobility without essentialisms. Grounded in case studies between Spain
and Latin America, the dossier combines explicit methods and historical sensitivity to balance openness and
care, internationalization and local anchoring, technique and shared responsibility.
