Abstract

Collective memory is fundamental for understanding the role of law within a specific social and historical context. This work, framed through the narrative device of Puerto Rican icon Bad Bunny’s songs, examines how legal frameworks have shaped not only memories, but also identities and emotions. Adopting a diachronic approach, in reading Puerto Rican history, and a comparative methodology, with a focus on the similarities with the Hawaiian experience, the work analyzes Puerto Rican culture and history with a legal lens, using collective memory as a conceptual bridge to explore the touchpoint of law, memory and history.
