Abstract
Beginning with a question about some possibilities to philosophize today, the author makes progressive displacements: first, towards the current meaning of time; afterwards, he tackles many Latin American narratives in which some schemes of time are offered to us. There, Rubio works several hermeneutic exercises out on the relations between narrative and speculation, narrative and liberation, on what it is memorable and on "the grip of the present", as well. We should not forget the existente of a memory of a future andan imagination of the past. Finally, the author leads us to the great Latin American narrative, described by Carlos Fuentes' Terra Nostra as "The Theater of Memory", where "images which involve all of our past possibilities, also represent all of our opportunities for the future, because knowing what it did not happen we will know what it clamors to be".This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
