| Sumario: | In the frame of the debates about the relationships between history and memory, this article selects one aspect of the state of the subject: the difference between history and memory, and one of its possible consequences. Among these, the discussion about a such an important problem as it is the place of historians in the construction of memories has been left aside.
On the other hand, the essence of the article considers the approach of memory as an object of the study of history. The main hypothesis states that memory is a central ressource to start a history of the political subject which recovers forgotten dimensions such as the problem of legitimation of power. From this place, it attempts to an analitical proposal in order to investigate how the past was used in the making of political imaginaries. To do this, some meanings about a central issue, such as imaginaries and collective memory are revised in order to finish with the delimitation of the scenes (places of memory, homages and commemorations) where the construction of memory takes place. |
