    Este artículo analiza el sistema sociopolítico libanés desde la teoría mnemónica. Se pretende demostrar que el conflicto de memorias e identidades existentes en este Estado se encuentran en la base de sus recurrentes conflictos, ya que el sistema sociopolítico se basa en las divisiones identitarias que dominan el país. Esta cuestión impregna todas las capas del sistema social, siendo un ejemplo paradigmático la organización del sistema educativo y la enseñanza de la historia en las escuelas. Esto supone un gran problema para una pacificación eficaz de Líbano.

    This article analyses Lebanon’s socio-political system from the perspective of memory studies. We try to prove that the conflict between memories and identities in Lebanon is at the base of the continuing conflicts since the socio-political system is based on the identity divisions in the country. This topic can be found in every aspect of the social system, one particularly clear example being the organisation of the education and the teaching of history in schools. This has become a great problem for an efficient appeasement of Lebanon.
