Abstract

Mujeres en la historia (Part 1 and Part 2) are two technovivial experiences (Dubatti, 2020) directed by Cecilia Dellatorre in Buenos Aires in 2020 and 2021, respectively, during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, drawing on the ideas of Chartier (2007) and Trombetta (2019), we ask what constitutes fiction and what corresponds to reality in the represented stories, and we analyze these experiences in light of the concepts of memory proposed by Nora (1992), virtual sites of memory by Baltar-Moreno (2022), the representation of the past according to Chartier (2007), and the notion of technovivial experience developed by Dubatti (2020). Using a qualitative research methodology—based on hermeneutic and interpretive analysis, content and discourse analysis, as well as case studies and theoretical-analytical research—our objective is to clarify how these two contemporary stagings, presented via streaming, contribute to the representation and valorization of the memories and experiences of prominent Argentine historical women such as Alfonsina Storni, Mariquita Sánchez de Thompson, Lola Mora, and Juana Manso.
