In 'The Abuses of Memory,' Tzvetan Todorov reflects on the contemporary obsession with the cult of memory in the West. Through a deep analysis, Todorov argues that, while it is crucial to keep the memory alive, the sacralization of memory can be problematic. The author urges us to remain alert so as not to lose the present or the future, especially in a world where racism, xenophobia, and exclusion are constantly evolving. This book invites reflection on how we manage collective memory and its impact on today's society.
Tzvetan Todorov was a Bulgarian-French historian, philosopher, structuralist literary critic, sociologist and essayist. He was the author of many books and essays, which have had a significant influence in anthropology, sociology, semiotics, literary theory, intellectual history and culture theory.
