Posits the importance of this theme within the broader set of its innovative conception of subjectivity. It is a theoretical and conceptual study with an essayistic character, which adopts the procedure of the literature review. We note that for Freud, since the early years of his research, memory is a remarkable element for understanding the psyche. Therefore, memory is highlighted as an important theme in his thought as well as its originality in understanding it as embodied and permeated by the unconscious.
