THE MEMORY, A FILM EMBEDDED IN THE SUBCONSCIOUS
THE MEMORY, A FILM EMBEDDED IN THE SUBCONSCIOUS

Summary/Abstract: Thanks to memory we can keep a permanent link with the past. When we talk about memory, we must refer implicitly to memories. The natural and gradual process is to memorize, to recollect and then to remember. After Paul Ricoeur, there are two levels of memory: the passion-memory and the action memory. The problem of relations between memory, imagination and vision has been a subject of dispute in Western philosophy. While memory refers to something real that existed and that was experienced, imagination discusses an invented "real", which can be based on previous experience, a process that is not decisive. Memory searches, imagination creates. Forgetting is also a psychological process by which something that was fixed inside the brain at one time is partially or totally erased. Memory is a film embedded in the subconscious. The constant demand to remember is the effort that keeps the memory awake. Portions of veiled film are due to forgetfulness. Forgetting is the mist of memory.
