The construction of politics of memory based on everyday life

Abstract

In recent decades, has emerged at Western societies that still face violence situations, the debate on political effects involving remembering/forgetting the past. Thus, starting in the 90's, the politics of memory has become a field of study for social sciences. The article aimed to sustain through a theoretical work, that the politics of memory do not arises only from strategic actions emanating from political-institutional areas, but also of spontaneous actions emerging of daily routine. This is supported by the fact that the constant reminder of a past conflict generates positions of hegemony and resistance in relation to what is remembered, as well as the role of those memories today.
