A cultural view

Abstract

In 2002 I published the research “Condors´nest aspects of daily life, Pereira of the twentiesâ€. Acultural view. With elements own to the discourses of history, journalism and literature I intended to re-build a picture of the epoch in regard to a city that historically doesn´t differ from the Colombian intermediate cities. Then I asked myself what sore of methodology had I applied and how had I used the concept of Cultural View as a reading of the world experience, considering an instrument of reflection, approximation and interpretation of the phenomena own to modern culture and especially to the phenomenon inherent to our critical work from peripheral places. It is necessary to distinguish three essential moments of the concept: memory, palimpsest and the chronic of the local. With these three components I advise the limits of the cultural view and its use in research processes where is possible to dialogue with our regions and their cultural, political and social memory.
