Online Martyrs: Virtual Tours of the Miguel Agustín Pro Museum, and the José Simeón Ca?as Central American University Martyrs

摘要

This article examines two commemorative projects on 20th-century Jesuit martyrs turned into Internet tours. A comparison between the official online tour of the Father Pro Museum in Mexico City, and two unofficial tours through the Martyrs Memorial Hall at the José Simeón Ca?as Central American University in San Salvador, El Salvador, suggests paradoxes regarding a museum’s online representation and ways in which violence and martyrdom are represented.
