Abstract
Through memory, past events, lived within
public experience by a historic community,
may be remembered and rebuilt. Memory
reports to what happened before, to things
that passed and that someone declares to
remember.
Starting with a reflexion about event,
time, memory, memory social frames, we aim
to approach “events of the year” posing questions
regarding the meaning, mediatically,
socially and symbolically, of the media selection
of the events of the year, their acquisition
of such a status and the entire process of
re-elaboration and mediatic transmission of a
social memory. We aim to understand if there
is an upgrade of significance, a new status
and meaning given to the selected events of
the year and if the balances of the year built
by the media work today as an appropriation
mechanism of the chronological time and the
construction of the collective memory.
