Memory and identity explored through Lusophone literature and territory

Academic and philosophical reflections are being presented regarding the intersection of memory, identity, and territory within Lusophone contexts.

One focus explores the concept of memory as a collective construct that shapes individual and social identity. Drawing on sociological perspectives, it suggests that identity is not fixed or biological but is constantly transformed by cultural systems and the uncertainties of modern life.

Complementary discussions examine territory not merely as a physical space, but as a living site of historical layers, power dynamics, and resistance. This perspective highlights how communities preserve knowledge and existence through territories that often exist outside of official historical records, challenging traditional narratives of what is deemed worthy of remembrance.
