Summary:
Both history, in its interpretative nature, and memory, in its social and identity function, often arouse controversy in today's societies, which look to the past to explain the present and face their collective future. A wide variety of issues from the past provoke a divided gaze, a memory in conflict, whether for ideological reasons or because of value discrepancies. However, both memory and history play a fundamental role in shaping the historical culture of peoples, and therefore both ways of looking at the past should find their place in history education. Even so, the controversial nature of these issues and the ethical implications that accompany them are not always seen as an opportunity in history teaching, and there are many challenges that they raise in the classroom. For this reason, this monograph aims to highlight the role of memory and controversial pasts in the teaching of history, with a view to citizenship education and the development of students' historical thinking.
