«O Passado, Modos de usar» is the history and memory essay by Enzo Traverso, published by Tigre de Papel in paperback (218 pages, in Portuguese).
Enzo Traverso analyzes how the collective memory of the twentieth century is constructed and its relationship with the writing of history and the politics of memory. With examples such as fascism, the Shoah and colonialism, he describes a memory turned into the civil religion of the liberal order, but he champions critical currents that preserve utopia and emancipation.
Work originally published in French as «Le passé: modes d'emploi»; this Portuguese edition includes a translation by Tiago Avô and a preface by José Neves.
A work for those interested in historiography, the philosophy of history and the politics of memory.
