To elucidate the problem, we have elaborated the concept of memory regime, which seeks to encompass the metanarrative limits that are necessary for the construction of the discourses. For such, we debated the ways in which the elite of the Roman Empire built an imperial culture, based on dialogue with the dominated cultures hence this paper debates the notion of Romanization. We have also pointed out the ways in which the discourses are validated by historical agents and some processes that involved the art of memory, a knowledge deeply rooted in the heart of roman aristocracy. We blended similar theoretical constructions with one clear example: the myth of Heracles and its diverse representations in Lucian of Samosata s writings, a mythical element whose analysis is fundamental, since the imperial propaganda of the antonine era is permeated with it. Therefore, this paper strives to show how this golden era of roman history presents conflicts even if they are in the form of representation / Com base na leitura e na análise dos textos de Luciano de Samósata, autor sírio do segundo século da era cristã, objetiva-se na presente dissertação objetiva encaminhar alguns questionamentos sobre um construto historiográfico muito influente: a idealização do século dos antoninos. Para elucidar o problema, elaboramos o conceito de regime de memória, que visa compreender os limites metanarrativos necessários para a construção dos discursos. Para tal, debatemos as maneiras como a elite do Império Romano construiu uma cultura imperial, a partir do diálogo com as populações dominadas por isso o trabalho debate a noção de romanização. Salientamos também as maneiras como os discursos são validados pelos agentes históricos e alguns processos que envolviam a arte da memória, um saber fortemente arraigado no seio da aristocracia romana. Matizamos semelhantes construções teóricas com um exemplo claro: o mito do herói Héracles e suas mais diversas representações nos escritos de Luciano de Samósata, um elemento mítico cuja análise é fundamental, já que a propaganda imperial do período dos antoninos está permeada por ele. Por conseguinte, este trabalho enseja mostrar como esta era áurea da história romana apresenta conflitos mesmo que esteja na ordem das representações

The present thesis offers a new perspective on Holocaust memory in Greece by examining the ways in which divergent mnemonic representations about the Greek 1940s, as evidenced in polarized public contestation, influence the position of Holocaust in contemporary Greek collective memory. Adopting a micro-level case-study approach, the thesis focuses on the process of renaming a street in Salonika (or Thessaloniki), by examining public discourses around the issue. On the basis of theoretical elaborations in the area of collective memory, and through an application of Kubik and Bernhard's conceptualization of the politics of memory, a qualitative evaluation of Holocaust memory in Salonika is presented by attempting to categorize the memory regime emerging. It is assessed that the memory regime pertaining to the Holocaust is affected by the salience of pre-established memory regimes, occupies a secondary status in the wider mnemonic field and, what is more, is not unified. In such context, a problematic tendency to actually distort the historical record of the Holocaust, in the form of downplaying the complicity of local elites in the implementation of the Nazi genocidal policy, is also detected and explained as a repercussion of the specific dynamics at play whenever political actors engage in discussions about the Greek 1940s. All things considered, the study demonstrates that the official institutionalization of Holocaust memory on a commemorative level, a phenomenon observed during the past twenty years, should not be equated to the emergence of a cosmopolitan Holocaust memory in the country.
