All knowledge is remembrance, and every society builds its memory by narrating its past, whether orally or in writing. However, when a society collectively experiences a traumatic event, both memory and language are wounded, which is reflected in the textual
production of that time. In turn, the memory and post-memory narratives of subsequent generations seek both to confront the trauma of loss and to keep these events alive in social memory. Here, we will explore how memory and the connection to the past are
constructed in two historical contexts: English society after the Norman Conquest of the 11th century and Argentine society of the 20th century. As a link between both cases, we will consider the figure of the Argentine author and professor of English literature
Jorge Luis Borges, whose work is deeply influenced by the Anglo-Saxon medieval world.</div>
