MEMORY AS ANOTHER PERSPECTIVEM IN “VIRADA TESTEMUNHAL E DECOLONIAL DO SABER HISTÓRICO”, BY MÁRCIO SELIGMANN-SILVA

Abstract

Published in 2022, A virada testemunhal e decolonial do saber histórico, a book by Márcio Seligmann-Silva, brings together twelve texts, some already published in scientific journals and now prepared for a chapter, some unpublished, which proposes to present another perspective on historical knowledge. This perspective, as proposed by the author himself, is a vision that comes from the “testimonial and decolonial turn” of history, and to contribute to this knowledge, the theorist presents Memory as another possibility of understanding the past. Composing his argument, the theory brings to our reflection thinkers from philosophy, history, literature, as well as considerations on the category and its various facets which we propose to present in this review.
