Mémoires/Mémorial de guerre
Prenant comme objet les récits de la Guerre du Viêt-nam, « Mémoire/ Mémorial de guerre » analyse la mémoire sous les angles épistémologique et psychologique.

He advanced this hypothesis of an aggressive instinct (Thanatos) independent of the libido (Eros) after becoming aware of the horrors of the First World War. It is not surprising that those exposed to the Western Front commemorated their experiences by ex…
