Historical memory is the result of a slow negotiation in which political disputes take part in the process of ordering the past. Memory and history - in several perspectives - elaborate narratives that provide meaning for the changes which occur in the social world.

As well, it focuses on the distinctions that express the time and place of those who are in charge of interpreting the past.
