[EN] The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen represents a historical hallmark and a political referent. Hannah Arendt is a lucid observer of the link that is established between the principle of the rights of man and citizenship, the belonging to a political community; but this is based on being born in a territory. For those who cannot brandish this belonging or who have been disposessed of it, these rights are an abstraction without any validity. ; [ES] La Declaración de los derechos de Hombre y de Ciudadano representa un hito histórico y un referente político. Hannah Arendt es una lúcida observadora de la vinculación que se establece desde el principio de los derechos del hombre a la ciudadanía, a la pertenencia a la comunidad política, pero ésta se basa en el nacimiento en un territorio. Para quienes no pueden esgrimir esa pertenencia o hayan sido desposeídos de ella, esos derechos son una abstracción carente de vigencia. ; Peer reviewed

Coordinators: Francisco Ferrándiz Martín, (ILLA, CSIC), Reyes Mate Rupérez (IFS, CSIC). ; Memory processes —as selective displays of the past in the present— are an essential component of the configuration and development of all human societies and affect areas that range from everyday gestures to high-level politics. The unfolding of memory is especially important in the constitution of individual and collective identities, and its enormous potential for cohesion is only comparable to its great capacity to generate exclusion, difference, and dispute. It is impossible to understand historical or contemporary conflicts in depth without analyzing the memory processes in which they are or have been immersed. Hence the strategic importance of this challenge for an institution such as CSIC. The approach to memory and memory processes is necessarily interdisciplinary, as it can be analyzed through the scientific fields of neurobiology, philosophy, sociology, political science, psychology, literary studies, religious studies, cultural studies, historiography, social anthropology, archeology, or cultural geography, among others. By reviewing the main historical, theoretical and thematic anchors of memory studies –with a special emphasis on CSIC-based research–, as well as their prospects for the future, this challenge proposes to proactively foster this interdisciplinarity to build a common analytical language substantially richer and more sophisticated than each of its individual parts.
