摘要:The media have focused on the review of our collective past. Due to the concept of «mediated historicity», as formulated by John B. Thompson, the media convey a mediated memory which supplements «historians’ own memory», in the words of Pierre Vilar. The problem comes when politicians, historians, and especially the mass media, abuse memory and make selective use of History, by opting for a strong feeling of nostalgia towards the past.
