Sumario: The purpose of this paper is to explore the politics of memory and the public uses of history in the context of the bicentennial of independence in Colombia. It proposes a double balance. On the one hand, the rituals: those celebrations and commemorative projects, both official and dissident, who were held to mark the 200 years of “independence” from Colombia.
