Abstract | Nationals process fragmenting ancestral memory by anchoring codes and referents at the arbitrary limits of national sovereignty. Thus, risks associated to natural hazards are understood in fragmentary way, especially in border regions. We propose to use historical tools to reduce risks in those regions and reconstruct collective memory through documentary research for this goal. |
