Abstract

The subject of investigation in this essay is the reflection on the hypothesis that there is, contemporarily, the edification of “forgetfulness policies”, which are presented as blunt threats to the formation of the public space and the constitution of collective memory. “Forgetfulness policies” come in many guises, either through the imposition of collective amnesia through Amnesty Laws or in attempts to modify the factual truth, as the revisionists do.
