The recollection of<br />this past talks to issues like the dimension of what<br />happened, impunity, the attempt to erase and<br />shape memory, and the institution of massacre as a<br />metaphor for new tragedies. In this process, we can<br />observe the construction of two possible pasts: one<br />undertaken by the State, establishing an official<br />memory, and the other linked to various segments<br />of organized civil society. I analyze the uses of this<br />memory and its recollection strategies, and these<br />categories are understood through the history of<br />the present time and the public history.</p><p>Keywords: Carandiru; Memory; Public History;<br />History of the Present Time.</p> ER -
