Rastros da memória na doença de Alzheimer: Entre a invenção e a alucinação

Abstract

The article discusses how memory is constituted in a tense and ambiguous relationship between imagination and hallucination, youth and old age, normal and pathological over of the Alzheimer’s composition. If the bibliography shows how the process mnemonic does not unfold in a chronological way and linear, but as overlapping and entangled temporal, it is worth to ask when this process becomes pathological. From notions such as trauma, truth, factual, and hallucination, the article walks you through the different meanings, contexts and uses of memory.
