Las memorias como pasado incómodo
Memories as an unconfortable past
Abstract
This text is a bidirectional approach and reflection about policies on memory on a national, Mediterranean and European scale. One direction dive into the debates and analyses of competitions and divergences on memories at an European level. The other direction is an approach about two examples from the Mediterranean arch territories –France and Spain‐ about conflicts on memories and (so called here) uncomfortable memories. Uncomfortable for the political power that are dealing with their past. And also that ones that are denying it. There is presented in the text some notions and parameters of memorial concepts and memory as a collective and democratic heritage in the time of different crisis and discussions in Europe.
El presente texto presenta una reflexión bidireccional sobre las políticas de memoria a escala europea y nacional. Una dirección enfoca hacia los debates y análisis de las competencias o divergencias memoriales a nivel europeo y la otra se adentra en la presentación de dos ejemplos ‐francés y español‐, sobre memorias que más que competir entre ellas, lo que hacen es proponer y transmitirse realidades incómodas para los poderes que las impulsan o los poderes que las aniquilan. Pienso que es importante establecer también un parámetro genérico y teórico sobre la memoria como patrimonio colectivo y la memoria o las memorias en el marco de las discusiones ‐y crisis‐ europeas para entender mejor los casos concretos.
