Silence Denial Mythmaking : The Memory of Great Defeat in Portuguese Culture.
Remembrance and oblivion are the two facets of collective memory that have so far attracted the attention of historians and social scientists. In this paper the author sug gests that both these processes should be associated with others such as repression, lying mythmaking, etc. She elaborates her assumption through case study of a national tragedy- the traumatic Portuguese defeat in the Battle of the Three Kings of 1578- in Portuguese culture from the XVIth century to the present.
