| description | In the last three decades, there has been a significant increase in touristification processes in places of remembrance, with growing, although not homogeneous, impacts on a just social and spatial reparation. Regarding this, in this article it is maintained that the nature and intensity of the touristic impact depends on how the memorials are manifested. According to what has been studied, there are three modalities to creating them, distinguished by the place where they are built, their formal characteristics, and who promotes and administers them. To develop this thesis, two Latin-American memorials were studied from each of the modalities. These were selected for constituting paradigmatic and generalizable cases. The results show, on the one hand, that tourism has become a key factor in increasing interest in, and the numbers of visitors to, memorials and with that it is contributing to victim reparations and the recovery of spaces. However, on the other hand, under certain conditions, the touristic incursion can trigger disturbingprocesses for memory, the reparation to victims and the place of remembrance. The impacts range from trivialising to hiding, from museumizing to spectacularizing, and even reaching theintentional use of tourism as a way to whitewash traumatized territories, both in terms of memory as well as reparation. |

To develop this thesis, two Latin-American memorials were studied from each of the modalities. These were selected for constituting paradigmatic and generalizable cases. The results show, on the one hand, that tourism has become a key factor in increasing interest in, and the numbers of visitors to, memorials and with that it is contributing to victim reparations and the recovery of spaces.

The impacts range from trivialising to hiding, from museumizing to spectacularizing, and even reaching theintentional use of tourism as a way to whitewash traumatized territories, both in terms of memory as well as reparation. En las tres últimas décadas se observa un aumento importante de los procesos de turistización de los lugares de la memoria, con impactos también crecientes, aunque no homogéneos, en la consecución de una justa reparación social y espacial. Ante ello, se sostiene en este artículo que la naturaleza e intensidad del impacto turístico depende de cómo se materializan los memoriales. Según lo estudiado, habría tres modalidades de materializarlos, distinguidas por el lugar donde se construyen, sus características formales y quién los promociona y gestiona. Para desarrollar esta tesis, de cada modalidad se estudiaron dos memoriales latinoamericanos, seleccionados por constituir casos paradigmáticos y generalizables. Los resultados muestran, por un lado, que el turismo se ha convertido en un factor clave para aumentar el interés y el número de visitantes de memoriales y, con ello, estaría contribuyendo a la reparación de víctimas y espacios; pero, por otro, que bajo ciertas condiciones la irrupción turística desencadena procesos inquietantes para la memoria, la reparación de las víctimas y del espacio rememorado. Impactos que van desde banalizar a ocultar, de musealizar a espectacularizar, hasta llega, incluso, al uso intencionado del turismo como forma de blanquear territorios traumatizados, tanto en términos de memoria como de reparación. Au cours des trois dernières décennies, il y a eu une augmentation importante des processus de touristisation des lieux de mémoire, avec des impacts croissants, bien que non homogènes, dans la réalisation d’une réparation sociale etspatiale équitable. Compte tenu de cela, il est avancé dans cet article que la nature et l’intensité de l’impact touristique dépendent de la manière dont les mémoriaux se matérialisent.Selon ce que l’on a été étudié, il y aurait trois manières de les matérialiser en fonction du lieu où ces mémoriaux sontconstruits, leurs caractéristiques formels et qui les promeut et les gère. Pour développer cette thèse, à partir de chaque modalité, deux mémoriaux latino-américains ont été étudiés,ayant été sélectionnés pour constituer des cas paradigmatiques et généralisables. Les résultats montrent, d’une part, que le tourisme est devenu un facteur clé dans l’augmentation del’intérêt et du nombre de visiteurs pour les mémoriaux et, par conséquent, il contribuerait à la réparation des victimes et des espaces; mais, d’autre part, cela veut dire que sous certaines conditions l’irruption du tourisme déclenche des processus troublants pour la mémoire, la réparation des victimes et l’espace remémoré. Ces impacts vont de la banalisation à la dissimulation, de la muséalisation à la spectacularisation, voire à l’utilisation intentionnelle du tourisme comme moyen de blanchir des territoires traumatisés, aussi bien en termes de mémoire que de réparation.
