Abstract
According to Pierre Nora, the increased presence of historical and news programmes on television has modified our perception and understanding of history and the academic study of history: ‘[I]t is the method of perception of the History itself, that, encouraged by the media, has expanded substantially and has replaced memory, which rested on the legacy of its own intimacy, by the ephemeral visual image of actuality’ (1984, p. xviii).
