Abstract

This text is structured according to three fundamental assumptions. The first say that memory is a device that regulates most influential contemporary life. The film, touted as a way that extends this dynamic, form behavior habits that not by chance coincides with consumption habits. The second delves into this mechanism and say that its deeper explanation lies in the different ways to reduce and neutralize the power of the anachronism in the present. In trying to represent the strength of this element that Giorgio Agamben locates in the nymph, the two cases arising out of this inertia, Gestalt and capitalist image, make it their denial, that is, a threat. Finally, the third suggests that the two previous thesis can bring existential and institutional memory with its opposite.
