Sumario:Benjamin's criticism diagnoses a decline in experience in modernity and calls for a review of the temporal coordinates in which it has encrypted the possibility of a historical transformation. In this study, we address one of the key themes of this t problematization: the relationship between forgetting and memory as a condition that allows opening a pause within the continuum of an emptied time, in order to recover a possibility of experience. To do so, we will make a tour of some of his readings of Baudelaire, Freud, Bergson and Proust, analyzing the particularities that allow him to elaborate the peculiar conceptualization of one of the central notions of his thesis On the concept of history, namely, "remembrance", at the end of the 1930s. Problematic that incorporates forgetting as a basal instance of memory work, showing the discontinuous force of time and a path capable of accommodating an experience in front of the sentence of its expiration.
