Abstract

I close my eyes and I see the sun. Not the sun itself, but my memory of the sun. What memory is this? What is memory? They say that memory would be the mental ability to encode, store and retrieve information. They also say that it is what allows us to keep our experiences in our being. Memories would be constructions or traces of the past that remain alive in the individual or in the social group. There are many definitions of memory and in each one of them I find the sun.
