By examining concepts such as the conscious and the unconscious, or the importance of memory – both individual and collective – in the construction of one’s own identity, the author underlines the fact that everything is actually doomed to disappear. Paradoxically, this form of erasure becomes an authorial productive gesture in Theories of Forgetting, which is embodied in the topos of the spiral.
