Memory constitutes a cardinal sphere to understand how societies are built, changed, and reproduced. The Morelia 8 Circular memory site, located in Mexico City, represents the first state exercise in Mexico dedicated to framing and erecting the memory of the period of state counterinsurgency in the 1970s in public space. This article aims to analyze its construction's political and social conditions, the underlying axiological and political intentionality, and the problems that have existed for its constitution and maintenance. Several in-depth interviews were conducted with its founders and managers, as well as with some members of groups of relatives of missing persons and survivors of state violence. As will be seen, collective memory is a field marked by dispute and conflict and is an open process conditioned by the present political times.Downloads
