Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a interseção entre a teoria da memória de Walter Benjamin e o pensamento
decolonial de Enrique Dussel como fundamentos epistemológicos para uma Teoria Crítica dos Direitos
Humanos. Nesse sentido, a crítica ao progresso, defendida por Benjamin, e a crítica ao discurso colonizador eurocêntrico,
empreendida por Dussel, permitirão a narrativa de uma nova história, de uma história “escovada a contrapelo”
(BENJAMIN, 1994). A preocupação de ambas as teorias com as vítimas silenciadas pela história oficial, nos
leva a propor uma teoria crítica dos direitos humanos que tenha em conta uma exigência de memória e de justiça
para essas vítimas.
