Abstract

Starting from the experience of rebellion and struggle of native communities and from the significance of time and memory for the constitution of anti-capitalist individuals and praxis, this paper explores the importance of Walter Bens thought for a conception of memory as a way of rebellious knowledge in order to show a rare empathy between his proposal of suspended dialectics and some expressions of the actual anticapitalist movement.
