Abstract

ABSTRACT The constitution of Cultural Memory is discussed after the fall of the Berlin Wall and by the phenomena of globalization.It is proposed to study two cases dedicated to contemporary memory: the Memorial of the Italian deportees in Auschwitz, held in 1981 and today no longer existent and the Museum of the memory of Ustica, in Bologna, inaugurated in 2007. These are examples which allow us to reflect on the transformations of memory within a discussion of globalized capitalism. We offer the contributions of alternative representation experiences, which tend to delegitimize dominant views. It is intended to investigate the ways in which the records are made and their mediation. Methodologically, the work carries out a critical review of the literature on the topics covered. In a second moment, in the two case studies, it observes the praxis.

Keywords: Memory; Capitalism; Museum of Ustica; Auschwitz Memorial.
