Abstract

This article proposes to analyze different theories about memory, from a critical and dialogical perspective, paying attention to, above all, the approaches of pioneering scholars on the subject, with the aim of discussing their concepts, crossed by different authors, in the attempt to discuss the dimension narrative of the memory of historical traumas. In this way, this work deals with the crossings between the practices of obliteration and manipulation of reminiscences of traumatic events of a historical dimension, through the uses and abuses of memory, seeking to understand that, just as the narrative dimension of memory contributes to silencing and exclusions in the public sphere, their contributions with regard especially to “counter-history”, can be taken as tools for social transformation in the present, through the rewriting of the past.
