Estética de la memoria: Danilo Kis y Péter Forgács, de lo banal a lo significativo

Abstract

The Yugoslav writer Danilo Kis tried to show that beyond the official History was possible an intimate and personal narrative of events. All those people without a name with social resonance, had a place in his Encyclopedia of the dead. Worried about the same problem, the confrontation between personal time and historical time, Hungarian filmmaker Péter Forgács, recovering anonymous movies made by people who lived dramatic events, rescues important moments close to oblivion and tries thus to reconfigure our historical consciousness.
