A FAVOR DEL DERECHO A LA MEMORIA: CINCO NOTAS PROVISORIAS.

This article aims to expose some items related to the following hypothesis: The reconstruction of democratic public culture of this country needs to recover its past time of human rights violations as a common and collective exercise of the right to remember. This is justified by the following presupposition: It is impossible to build up a present or future decent society by denying or trivializing the past as if it were only an epiphenomenon. Purposeful oblivion helps to make unfeasible civil ethics, shared in the public scenario; therefore they contribute to undermine the density of a democratic way of life. All this is nowadays highly relevant: globalization with its dialectics modernity/modernization is prone to solve the codes of reciprocal recognition and the possibilities of righteous societies at national or worldly level.
