This tool is likely a central element in the representations of a glorious memory of the armed struggle for liberation and conveys a sense of belonging. Hence the following question: could it be that, currently, the machete can be apprehended as a place of memory of the armed struggle for national liberation and, simultaneously, function as an ideological-identity element of generalization of the idea of a nation? |
