Abstract

Analysis of the relationship which was established between history and memory, seen from a specific cultural place but in terms of the current global phase in which memory has turned into a preferential field and a market product, and at the same time that of an outstanding element in the current postmodern phase of democratic justification. The article shows how in all this big cosmetic operation the biggest loser is historic knowledge, that ends up blurred and, moreover, distorted.
