Early studies
The term memory literacy emerges in the recent context of the development of Memory Studies in articulation with media and communication studies, lacking a consolidated classical origin or stable usage throughout the 20th century. Its formulation as an explicit concept can be more systematically identified in the work of Pedro Lopes, namely in the article Memory literacy: audiovisual fiction and its contribution to the construction of social memory[1], published in the journal Comunicação Pública. In that text, the author presents the term as an initial conceptual proposal, explicitly described as a “first approach,” indicating that it is not a previously established concept but rather an attempt to name and structure an emerging field. The importance of this work lies precisely in offering one of the first systematized definitions of the term in an academic context, grounding it in the analysis of the relationship between social memory and audiovisual media.
