Abstract

Fear is an emotion that has accompanied mankind ever since its origins and which has manifested itself in different ways in men and women and in different cultures throughout history. This article provides an analysis of the testimony of a 68 year old woman who, during na interview, reconstructed from her own memories part of the memories that are also common to the period on which she lived. The category of analysis created, comprised of two elements: the fears of the experience of living and the fears found in society, focussed on the fears narrated by her, in the light of the historiography of authors such as Delumeau, Duby, Zeldin, Ariés, Lebfreve and Chauí.

Keywords: fear; emotions; memory and oral history.
