Literacia da memória: a ficção televisiva como espaço de formação de cidadãos politicamente conscientes

In contemporary society, television has been replacing a certain bookish culture in the knowledge of the past, which makes it particularly relevant to understand the contribution of audiovisual fiction formats in the creation of social memory, with the aim of building a literacy of memory that allows us to recognize the mechanisms of collective identity construction and the sense of belonging to a particular community. Given the growing consumption of audiovisual fiction, we believe it is important to understand the role that historical and period fiction can play in the discursive revision of the past and the “truth of the past,” as well as its relationship with state power and the counterpowers that attempt to influence the construction of national memory.
