The counter memory of opposing history as knowledge

. The historical sense gives rise to three uses that oppose and correspond to the three Platonic modalities of history.

• The first is parodic, directed against reality, and opposes the theme of history as reminiscence or recognitïonj 
• the sëcond is dissociative, directed against identity, and opposes history given as continuity or representative of a tradition; 
• the third is sacrificial, directed against truth, and opposes history as knowledge. They imply a use of history that severs its connection to memory, its metaphysical and anthropological model, and constructs a counter-memory—a transformation of history into a totally different form of time.
