The article analyzes the change and adaptation process of miners who became agricultural settlers on the coast of Hermosillo. All of them had been unemployed because of the closure of the copper mine in Pilares, Sonora, in 1949. The methodological perspective applied instruments of social and cultural history with concepts of memory studies. It is possible to identify a fractured identity through the broken projections for the future, forcing settlers to re-elaborate their life stories. The study involved work with orality, which resulted in some limitations that had to be solved with contrast of documentary and historiographic sources. The visibility of a community with a strong presence in the social imagination of Sonora defined the originality of the study, concluding further that there is a pilgrim cultural identity that was formed outside the mining space but with symbolic elements of it.

In the last decades there was a boom of studies and debates dedicated to the question of memory. In this context, the "geography of memory" (Foote y Azaryahu, 2007) contributed to analyze the spatial dimensions and explore the relationships between collective memory, places and national identities. The objective of this paper is to explore the role of historical monuments with a nationalistic sense in the town of Puan (Buenos Aires), in the constitution of local identities, in this case linked to the origins of the town under the advance over the "desert". For this, the conflict around the maintenance of the "Plaza de la Patria", a public space dedicated to the commemoration of the "Desert Campaign" where the monument of the Unknown Soldier is located, will be analyzed. The dispute began in 2012 when the Municipal Government and a group of investors announced the construction of a hotel in the proximity of this historical monument. Immediately, a group of neighbors, the so called "Group Plaza de la Patria as it is" began to demonstrate against the hotel's future location, arguing that the place is important to preserve the "heroic" past of the town.

This paper contains a reflection that arises from the teaching experience: the importance of writing in the learning process as a socializing tool, but especially as a tool for the recovery of historical memory and the eyes of the subjects as individuals and as part of the community. I decided to do the same academic and research exercises applied in the classroom and confront my teaching role, so that I can make the corrections that might be required in this process of mutual learning. In this case, the objects of study for the research were students. The aim was to make life stories with some of them, so that they could collect, from interviews, field notes, photographic records and personal documents, relevant information to write a text to present their college and personal life and, on this basis, establish a dialogue that transcends individual history.

In recent Spanish biopic, stands out the cycle of films that has taken to the screen the lives of those individuals branded by dictatorship historic writing. Films like La mujer del anarquista, La buena nueva, Las treces rosas, María querida y Soldados de Salamina, can be considered as the filmic materialisation of the claim of large social segments to rehabilitate the figure of "loser". This fertile path invites to the reflection about the Spanish society needs of building a narrative of History -and his protagonists-, that be able to give sense to our present.
