Abstract

This essay explores the problem of the policies of the experience from two perspectives: first, from the epistemological construction of categories that allow us to individualize their positivity (for which is discussed in phenomenology), and second from its historical events, facts, in the commemorative events and artifacts that have been invented for use state policies of memory. In short, it is to reflect on the epistemological and political potential of narrative, as Walter Benjamin thought it the last century to describe policies of exclusion. The essay focuses particularly on the Voortrekker Monument in South Africa, along with their policies of autochthony. Finally, they insist on the idea that memory, experience, trauma and other notions conform a tensional constellation.
