A memória oral no mundo contemporâneo

Abstract

WE HAVE been experiencing an increasing importance of the oral memory on the human sciences. This article deals with the psycho-social conditions that led to the desuse of the narration and the circumstances that promote its revitalization. It also explores the psychological and political dimensions of oral memory, suggesting that the narrative past assumes a resistance feature toward the unrooting threat.
