Abstract

CABALLERO CAMPOS, Herib. Between memory and claim: Apotheosis, the memorial album of the inauguration of the National Pantheon of the Heroes. Folia [online]. 2015, n.24, pp.00-00. ISSN 0325-8238.

This article examines how was recorded the figure of marshal Francisco Solano Lopez claimed as National Hero through a specific bibliographic production. This new approach triumphed against the hegemonic idea that he was a tyrant by whose will the Paraguay entered at the Triple Alliance War. This work analyses speeches and documents making up the Apotheosis Album. This album recorded the transfer of Lopez’ remains from the Cerro Cora field to the National Pantheon of the Heroes. This work analyses that album which is a true rarity material with very few copies remaining. The investigation also considers official documents and testimonies of witnesses. This paper contributes to analyze one of the major records issued by the government of colonel Rafael Franco in his claim of the figure of Francisco Solano Lopez.

Keywords : Heroes; Claim; Lopizmo; Nationalism; Paraguay.
