Multidirectionality in action: Reshaping geographies of memory in a suburb of Buenos Aires <sup/>

In this article, we propose a model of community memory work, inspired by Michael Rothberg’s multidirectional memory and based on a research-intervention experience we carried out with teenagers in marginal areas of suburban Buenos Aires in 2022–2023. We claim that memorial community work can resignify spaces by recreating dedicated memory sites and including new spaces in a multilayered narrative of memory and future that, in essence, puts multidirectionality into action. We will start by analyzing the theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical underpinnings of “Intimate Cartographies in Community,” a research-intervention project we carried out in high schools in marginal areas of suburban Buenos Aires during the years 2022–2023 ( https://edjam.network/project/intimate-cartographies-in-community/ ) and then offer an analysis of the results.
