Abstract

Why are we sometimes unable to remember events, places and objects? This concise overview explores the concept of 'forgetting', and how modern society affects our ability to remember things. It takes ideas from Francis Yates classic work, The Art of Memory, which viewed memory as being dependent on stability, and argues that today's world is full of change, making 'forgetting' characteristic of contemporary society. We live our lives at great speed; cities have become so enormous that they are unmemorable; consumerism has become disconnected from the labour process; urban architecture has a short life-span; and social relationships are less clearly defined - all of which has eroded the foundations on which we build and share our memories. Providing a profound insight into the effects of modern society, this book is a must-read for anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists and philosophers, as well as anyone interested in social theory and the contemporary western world.

Abstract

In korte tijd is herinneren een sleutelbegrip geworden in onze omgang met het verleden. In het alledaagse spraakgebruik neemt het woord 'herinnering' bijna ongemerkt de plaats in van 'geschiedenis', en in het voetspoor volgt ook 'vergeten'. Welke vormen neemt deze ontwikkeling aan en wat betekent dat ?Er zijn grofweg twee manieren om over herinneren te denken. Neurofysiologie en psychologie richten zich op de individuele persoon, terwijl de cultuurgeschiedenis de herinneringscultuur van mensen als sociale wezens, van groepen en van samenlevingen blootlegt. Beide benaderingen analyseren echter de manier waarop mensen met het verleden omgaan en er zin aan geven als een vorm van geschiedenis die op hen persoonlijk betrokken is. Daartoe werken ze met begrippen als 'geheugen' en 'trauma', 'toe-eigening' en 'identiteit'. Geschiedenis is verleden dat in het spel van herinneren en vergeten door ieder van ons wordt toegeëigend.De mist van de geschiedenis neemt de cultuurhistorische dimensie van het herinneringsproces in het vizier, met drie actuele aspecten ervan als leidraad: de relatie tussen herinneren en vergeten, plaatsen van herinnering als vorm van erfgoed en de rol van religie in de herinneringscultuur.Bron : http://www.vantilt.nl

Abstract

"Brown's new study explores the roots of modern America's fascination with things and the problem that objects posed for American literature at the turn of the century. This was an era when the invention, production, distribution, and consumption of things suddenly came to define a national culture. Brown shows how crucial novels of the time made things not a solution to problems, but problems in their own right. Writers such as Mark Twain, Frank Norris, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Henry James ask why and how we use objects to make meaning, to make or remake ourselves, to organize our anxieties and affections, to sublimate our fears, and to shape our wildest dreams. Offering a remarkably new way to think about materialism. A Sense of Things will be essential reading for anyone interested in American literature and culture."--Jacket.
