The author reflects on the paper he presented at a conference in La Plata, Argentina in September 2004, on the topic of "The State and the Politics of Memory: Archives, Museums, and Education." His paper is about discourses and sites of public memory and history in Berlin, Germany. The theoretical dimension of the paper he gave argued for the persistent dialectic of memory and history, specifically for the sharpening of discourses of memory according to the rules of history. He was arguing against the appropriation of history by memory in the tradition of Pierre Nora, and for the infusion of memory qua raw material by historical reasoning in what he takes to be the central Freudian argument.
