700 Muslims’ temporal relation with the locality and with their history. Commemorative rit- uals and pilgrimages underscore a renewed sense of attachment to a lost place: they mark a type of memory politics among Mus- lim minorities bent on resisting the silencing and obliteration caused by past iconoclastic acts. To understand how iconoclasm is in- voked to make the present meaningful, and how remembrance holds renewed mean- ings across generations, would require fur- ther investigation.

Feminist Protests against Violence in Mexico Ester Gallo, Dipartimento di Sociologia e Ricerca Sociale, Università di Trento, Via Giu- seppe Verdi 26, 38122 Trento ester.gallo@unitn.it At the beginning of the twenty-first cen- tury, and indeed very recently, several scholars have criticised the concept of «historical heritage», trying to establish the characteristics that define it. Histori- cal monuments, in particular, have been investigated in order to understand their usefulness and the function they play in a society. The new attitude towards monu- ments stemmed from a series of con- flicts – dictated by unhappiness and an- noyance – between several national sec- tors and the State as central institution; in the case of Mexico, the criticism was aimed at the federal institutions in charge of mon- ument preservation. During the last ten years, as feminist movements against violence were gain- ing strength in Latin America, several new strategies and ways of demonstra- tion have emerged as means of visibility 1 . Hashtags like #Metoo and #YoSiTeCreo (#IDoBelieveYou) have been used in so- cial networks primarily by heterogeneous feminist groups – belonging to different currents – and their intention was to make their frustration, disgust, and anger visible, to react against multiple violations women 1 Mexico has the highest incidence of femicide in Latin America: women are killed for the sole reason of being women. The National Institute of Statistics and Geography INEGI has quantified violence against women in Mexico for thirty years. However, it was not until 2012 that the category «femicide» (feminicidio in Spanish) was incorporated into the Federal Criminal Code in its article 235. And yet, the first semester of 2020 was the most violent for women in the last 30 years: 1,844 Mexican women were murdered.
