Resum

La Tercera Fase en los estudios de memoria ha cuestionado recientemente los conceptos tradicionales de memoria que la conciben como una imagen o narrativa concreta que se fija en un momento determinado y, por consiguiente, omite su dimensión cambiante. Fijando la atención en una construcción de la narrativa del pasado, la investigación ha renovado las bases teóricas y metodológicas de este campo de análisis. Este estudio adopta esta nueva conceptualización para analizar las interconexiones entre memoria y silencio en las conmemoraciones oficiales durante las regencias de María Cristina (1833-40) y Espartero (1840-43) en España y de la Monarquía de Julio (1830-48) en Francia. Su principal contribución es demostrar que una omisión deliberada de una narrativa no puede vincularse solamente al olvido, sino que incluso puede ser entendida por su capacidad para crear memoria.
