Abstract
This article examines the ways in which artefacts of Cold War social movements are reassembled in and through the creation of archives in the present. We ask: how have artefacts of past social movements been re-engaged with memory work through intergenerational transmission and performance? Through the analysis of selected examples, including a) ethnographic work on a Pan-African social movement in Senegal, b) archival research of Cuban Cold War graphic design, and c) a decolonial pedagogical project taking place at a UK university, we illustrate the different – and at times overlapping – dimensions of the 'memory-activism nexus' they engage (Rigney 2018; 2020). Through a theoretical framework that draws from social movement theory, memory studies and performance theory in relation to archives, we identify and analyse contemporary engagements with past social movements. We argue that through distinct interpretations, (re)assemblages, and framings of artefacts, memory work through the creation of archives is necessarily an embodied and performative practice.
Este artículo presenta una lectura preliminar de los panfletos políticos brasileños y latinoamericanos en general, preservados en el sector de las Colecciones Especiales de la Biblioteca Senate House, de la Universidad de Londres, Reino Unido. Los temas que abarca van desde publicaciones de sindicatos y organizaciones de derechos humanos hasta declaraciones de diversas iglesias y material relacionado con aspectos económicos y políticos. Esta colaboración tiene como objetivo difundir la existencia de los documentos y de su uso potencial en cuanto representan una narrativa alternativa a los discursos dominantes sobre la dictadura brasileña de 1964. Usando el tema de la violencia, tanto estructural como física, este artículo presenta una nueva perspectiva sobre cómo interpretar las ideologías que aparecen en esos discursos. ; Este artigo apresenta uma leitura preliminar dos panfletos políticos, do Brasil e da América Latina em geral, que são preservados no departamento de coleções especiais na Biblioteca Senate House da Universidade de Londres, Grã Bretanha. Os tópicos abordados vão desde publicações de sindicatos e de organizações de Direitos Humanos, até declarações de diversas igrejas e materiais relacionados a aspectos econômicos e políticos. Esta colaboração visa compartilhar estes documentos e seu potencial como narrativas alternativas para discursos dominantes sobre a ditadura brasileira de 1964. Ao usar o tema da violência, tanto estrutural como física, como um panorama, o presente artigo apresenta uma nova perspectiva sobre como interpretar as ideologias que aparecem nesses discursos. ; This article presents a preliminary reading of the political pamphlets, from Brazil, and Latin America in general, that are preserved in the Special Collections department at Senate House Library of the University of London. The source of the themes discussed range from publications of worker unions and human rights organizations, to various church declarations, and other material with economic and political aspects. This collaboration aims to propagate these documents and their potential as alternative narratives to dominant discourses regarding the Brazilian dictatorship of 1964-85. By using the theme of violence, both structural and physical, as a framework, this article poses a new perspective on how to interpret the ideologies that appear in those discourses.

Abstract
This text presents a dialogue between Omar Séne, an activist-artist from Senegal, and two researchers, Sandrine Gukelberger from Germany and Anna Grimaldi from the UK. The intention of this particular collaboration is to interrogate the relationship between Pan-African activism in the present and the modes through which they relate to the past. It combines and recontextualises various artefacts, narrative interviews and extracts of Séne's personal archive (including photographs, dance choreographies and on- and offline texts). The aim is twofold: on the one hand, we provide a situated perspective on the pathways of becoming a youth activist in Senegal today, and on the other, we explore one individual's experience of a collective identification with Pan-Africanism. Through this text, we demonstrate how figures of the past are mobilised to drive youth engagement in the present, and how these inherited struggles are perpetuated through bodies.

Il contributo si propone di analizzare gli usi della ricerca e della valutazione per qualificare il fare professionale degli/delle assistenti sociali e migliorare gli strumenti del welfare locale. Buone programmazioni territoriali necessitano di migliorare le scelte di policy e definire i contenuti del lavoro sociale come policy practice. La social work education, come ambito formativo e di ricerca, può veicolare temi rilevanti quali la partecipazione, l'advocacy, la co-produzione (co-progettare e co-programmare) e la ricerca valutativa applicata alle politiche di welfare locale.
