Abstract

When we take active life as a starting point, we see that plurality, the category that underlies the action, manifests itself in the middle of the public space. The field of politics is that of plurality, in which the freedom that is the very condition of politics is necessary and, therefore, the public space becomes the welcoming sphere of both. It is in this sphere that memories and narratives are constituted through the actions taken in this space. Thus, our objective is to demonstrate how the public space is constituted and the importance of this space as a place of memory construction, having as main work The Human Condition of Hannah Arendt. In short, our reflection will be around the importance of remembering tragic events as a way of not experiencing them again.
