本文认为，我们如何把有关（暴力）过去的故事，强调如何通过我们的选择性注意力，这本身必然依赖于过去的持续模式，无论是痕迹或物质支持，标志（后）过去，或通过关心和人类主题的话出现的故事。文章以作者在智利阿塔卡马沙漠的Chacabuco前拘留中心追逐故事的经历为重点，认为一个人对“发生了什么”的故事的接受需要被动接受和创造力，因为没有什么-无论是艺术，还是纪念馆，甚至是人类主题-真正“为自己说话”。作为研究者，我们促进故事的传播--通常是令人震惊的、可怕的故事，但也有幽默的、关于人类善良和社会性的精彩故事。就像猫的摇篮游戏一样，我们必须小心地接收那些纠缠在一起的水晶过去，因为我们会把它翻转和包裹起来，这样新的关系和联系就会出现，而其他的可能会从视线中消失。这样的过程提醒我们一种内在的责任;允许相关故事承认多个主题和斗争的艺术，同时肯定每个独特存在的脆弱性。
This article considers how we put together stories about the (violent) past, emphasising how stories emerge through our selective attentions that are themselves necessarily dependent on the modes by which the past is sustained, whether those be traces or material supports that sign(post) the past, or through the care and words of human subjects. Taking as its focus the author’s experience of chasing stories from the Chacabuco ex-detention centre in the Atacama desert, Chile, the article argues that one’s receptivity to stories of ‘what happened’ requires both passivity to receive and creativity, since nothing – neither art, nor memorials, or even human subjects – truly ‘speaks for itself’. As researchers, we facilitate the way stories – often as in this case, shocking, horrific stories, but also humorous, wonderful stories of human kindnesses and sociality – are passed on. Like a game of cat’s cradle, we must receive that entangled crystalline past carefully, for we will turn and entwine it such that new relations and connections appear, and others may be lost from sight. Such a process reminds us of an inherent responsibility; the art of allowing related stories to acknowledge the multiple subjects and struggles for which they are told while affirming the fragility of each unique existent.
