Resumen

In this article, I read Beatriz Sarlós Tiempo pasado: Cultura de la memoria y giro subjetivo. Una discusión in the context of new scholarship in cultural memory studies, that proposes its transgenerational perdurability both at the a social and the collective level. I propose that Sarlo criticizes the personal voice of the "subjective turn" by deploying her own predilections, and therefore interrupting the discourses she purports to analyze. Sarlós critique of the subjective turn is therefore carried out within her own subjectivity, inviting a question that echoes her own: What is the place of the first person singular in the narration of the recent past?.
