Resumo: | The article takes into account some dominant theories about the controversial concept of post- memory. Post- memory, in fact , as the possibility of an intergenerational transmission of memory, particularly traumatic, especially for people belonging to the familiar sphere that didn’t live the experience in question but maintain an emotional tie with the direct witnesses, provides the ability to critically review the fixation of memory processes in their tense relationship with the possibility of a contractualization of history. The case associated with such a conceptualization is the Colonial War that Portugal fought in Africa for over a decade (1961-1974) and heavily conditioned both the ontology of the country after the Carnation Revolution and the consciousness of the former combatants who lived traumatic experiences projecting the impossibility of their symbolization on family relationships. Besides, through the myth of Philomel, the article approaches part of the contemporary Portuguese cultural production of the second generation, trying to vocalize the painful silences of their parents. |

O artigo analisa algumas das teorias dominantes em torno do conceito, controverso, de pós-memória. A pós-memória, de fato, como possibilidade de transmissão intergeracional da memória, em particular traumática, sobretudo para pessoas da esfera familiar que não viveram a experiência em causa mas mantêm um laço afetivo com quem a vivenciou, proporciona a possibilidade de rever criticamente alguns processos de fixação da memória tout-court, na sua relação tensa com a possibilidade de uma contratualização histórica. O caso associado a esta conceitualização é aquele da Guerra Colonial que Portugal combateu em África por mais de uma década (1961-1974) e que incidiu profundamente tanto na ontologia do País pós Revolução dos Cravos, como na consciência dos ex combatentes que vivenciaram as experiências traumáticas projetando a impossibilidade de simbolização dos traumas nas relações familiares. Também, pelo mito de Filomela, é analisada uma parte da produção cultural portuguesa das segundas gerações que procura vocalizar estes silêncios doloridos dos pais.ABEC Brasil2013-11-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo avaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/2965910.22409/abriluff.v5i11.29659ABRIL – NEPA / UFF; Vol. 5 No. 11 (2013): MEMORY AND POST-MEMORY; 15-23Abril – NEPA / UFF; v. 5 n. 11 (2013): MEMÓRIA E PÓS-MEMÓRIA; 15-231984-209010.22409/abriluff.v5i11reponame:Abril (Niterói)instname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/29659/17200Copyright (c) 2018 Abril – NEPA / UFFinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVecchi, Roberto2019-08-09T09:27:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/29659Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabrilPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/oairevistaabril@vm.uff.br||nepa@vm.uff.br||uffnepa@gmail.com||idafalves@gmail.com1984-20901984-2090opendoar:2019-08-09T09:27:28Abril (Niterói) - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
