Abstract

The philosophical criticism elaborated by Nietzsche and Benjamin to the historical narrative, was the foundation that shaped a narrative based on collective memory, gave an account of a past of shared oppression, and led to the creation of a social project of equality elaborated by the resistance, dissident to the program of the ruling hegemony. This essay proposes a theoretical discussion, to demonstrate that the origin of the notion of memorys of resistance is found in the criticism of the historical narrative. Likewise, suggests an empirical study that analyzes the news discourse of the Chilean official press, associated with the commemoration of the “day of the young combatant”, from 1986 to 2000, to demonstrate subversion and insurgency as a strategy and achievement of the memorys of resistance respectively.
