Spanish term or phrase: resúmenes de la memoria
This is from an interview with an Argentine artist, actually, but due to his concerns I suspect it to be an IT-related term:

En la instalación confluyen un par de obsesiones. Por un lado, la que tiene que ver con la mirada deshumanizada y una clase de horizonte descorazonador, eso que deviene ya en una idea más post-apocalíptica, que también guarda relación con lo que podría llamar la “inmanencia del texto” y los nuevos resúmenes de la memoria, las nuevas vasijas o los nuevos…

Thanks!

memory dumps
Explanation:
A computer term where everything in working memory (RAM) is printed out for examination/debugging. I once had a colleague who used to say "Give me a memory dump, and I'm as happy as a pig in s**t."

neutral  Charles Davis: This is obscure to me, but a dump is "volcado" or "dump", and I've never seen it called a "resumen" // If this is your intuition, fair enough. It's not that this isn't the essence for me; I have no idea what he means and no basis to agree or disagree.

  -> It's not meant to be a literal translation. To me it captures the essence - your mileage may vary :-)//Unless we're into Philosophy, it has an essence. For me, this is it. For you, it apparently isn't. That's the beauty of natural language.

Explanation:
From this short piece this has nothing to do with IT. I guess it's more a philosophy concept.

If you can add some more taxt, it'd help us.
