This paper reflects on temporality and time in studies on recent Latin American history and memory culture. By focusing on the temporal nature of events (e.g. dictatorships and civil wars), memory studies fails to notice not only the succession of events, social conflicts, and violence in democracy but also those memories with more profound historical roots. Beyond their sequentiality, memories overlap and intertwine in knots of time that escape single moments, as well as the progressive and stable periodization we have assigned to political transitions.
