Memory. Oblivion. Internet. Subjectivity. Visibility.Abstract
This article resumes the debate on the “right to oblivion” that some Internet users are demanding to search engines such as Google and Yahoo. In such cases, people ask to erase certain personal data related to past situations which, even if these are true, the applicant considers that somehow harm their own reputation. Discussions on this issue seem to suggest that some important changes are taking place, regarding the ways in which we relate to our reminiscences. This fact could be opening the moral and legal horizon towards an “editable memory” whose criterion of truth resides in the exposure to the others' gaze. It is an essayist reflection that proposes a genealogical perspective, in dialogue with fundamental authors of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, such as Benjamin, Bergson, Borges, Debord, Deleuze, Foucault, Freud and Nietzsche.
