Abstract

Carabanchel Prison was in the neighbourhood for more than seventy years until it was demolished. Different demands about its future were proposed that allowed the recuperation of its memory and the appropriation of this place. Social mobilization faced not only to the elimination of collective memory but also to a specific way to produce the space. The analysis of the conflict about its future that is analysed in this article expects to demonstrate the relationship between the way that the public space is built and the collective memories.
