This article examines memory as a tool for transnational solidarity that is grounded in spiritual connection with those who have been disappeared or killed by state actors in Colombia. Remembering is one of the ways people come together to push against mechanisms of state violence that render survivors as invisible. By interviewing 15 survivors of state violence in Colombia, this study shows how memory is a life force transmitting agency while simultaneously keeping survivors’ memory alive through a network of spiritual solidarity. In this ethnographic research, I ask: How can memory, grounded in spiritual connection, be a form of transnational solidarity and a tool for healing and social justice? The findings offer a powerful definition of spiritual solidarity and show how it is done through memory practices by (1) using memory symbols in everyday actions to connect to loved ones, (2) keeping the memories of loved ones alive by “seeing” them in others and in their surroundings, (3) creating spaces for others to build a spiritual relationship with their own loved ones, and (4) making memory work life's purpose. This article concludes with a set of recommendations for how to conduct community psychology research in service of social justice movements.

记忆练习在为国家暴力幸存者建立精神团结中的作用

本文考察记忆作为跨国团结的工具,这种团结的基础是与那些在哥伦比亚被国家行动者失踪或杀害的人的精神联系。记住是人们团结起来反对使幸存者隐形的国家暴力机制的方式之一。通过采访 15 名哥伦比亚国家暴力事件的幸存者,这项研究展示了记忆是如何传递生命力的机构,同时通过精神团结网络使幸存者的记忆保持活力。在这项民族志研究中,我问:以精神联系为基础的记忆,成为跨国团结的一种形式和治愈和社会正义的工具?研究结果为精神团结提供了强有力的定义,并通过以下方式展示了如何通过记忆练习来做到这一点:(1)在日常行为中使用记忆符号与亲人联系,(2)通过“看到”亲人的记忆来保持他们的记忆。他人及其周围环境,(3)为他人创造空间,与自己所爱的人建立精神关系,(4)使记忆成为生活的目的。本文最后就如何进行社区心理学研究以服务于社会正义运动提出了一系列建议。(3) 为他人创造空间,与自己所爱的人建立精神关系,(4) 使记忆成为生活的目的。本文最后就如何进行社区心理学研究以服务于社会正义运动提出了一系列建议。(3) 为他人创造空间,与自己所爱的人建立精神关系,(4) 使记忆成为生活的目的。本文最后就如何进行社区心理学研究以服务于社会正义运动提出了一系列建议。
