La trama de la memoria

In this illuminating essay, Mayka Lahoz invites us to consider memory as a fundamental structure of human existence, as a space of words that challenge us, that make us speak and that are therefore capable of giving new meanings to the multiple ways of be in the world. We are narrative beings and this means that we only understand ourselves, and what we are, through the stories and fictions that we continually tell ourselves. For this reason, language acquires such an essential role in the construction of our identity, of that network of experiences, affections, convictions and desires that make up our biography.
