| Miêu tả: | Introduction: This reflection proposes a balance on some fundamental theoretical-methodological decisions and considerations for developing research on art in and from Central America. Development: First, it highlights the importance of oral sources and access to archives in historical-cultural research processes, emphasizing their capacity to offer a living, situated, and contextual dimension of artistic production. Additionally, it reflects on the ethical and political implications of working with cultural archives and memory in Central America, understanding this work as an action that goes beyond methodology to position itself in the realm of the political. As an example, a case study focused on the history of modern art collections in national museums and the circulation of artists from Costa Rica and Guatemala in international circuits during the second half of the 20th century is presented. Conclusion: From this experience, the methodological challenges and lessons derived from working with archives and oral histories are discussed, highlighting the urgency to preserve and value these sources for a richer understanding of the Central American artistic and cultural legacy. Reflecting on these practices invites us to recognize that research is also a form of political and ethical action that contributes to making visible subjectivities and historical memories. |
