This research probes "the disquieting strangeness" (the uncanny in Freud's sense) that history takes on when Ricazur, dispelling the accepted evidence, examines what binds the discipline to memory. There is no history without memory, that is, history is not possible without the existence of witnesses or documents related to the events; still, history is nonetheless different from memory in a number of regards — among these, the fact that, unlike memory, history crystallizes in writing. Hence the uncanny (orparadoxical) nature of historical knowledge: even though history is founded on memory, its making aims to differentiate it from the workings of remembrance.
