  • Memory in Mind and Culture
    This page intentionally left blank Memory in Mind and Culture This text introduces students, scholars, and interested educated readers to the issues of human memory broadly considered, encompassing individual mem- ory, collective remembering by societies, and the construction of history. The book is organized around several major questions: How do memories construct our past? How do we build shared collective memories? How does memory shape history? This volume presents a special perspective, emphasizing the role of memory processes in the construction of self-identity, of shared cultural norms and concepts, and of historical awareness. Although the results are fairly new and the techniques suitably modern, the vision itself is of course related to the work of such precursors as Frederic Bartlett and Aleksandr Luria, who in very different ways represent the starting point of a serious psychology of human culture. Pascal Boyer is Henry Luce Professor of Individual and Collective Memory, departments of psychology and anthropology, at Washington University in St. Louis. He studied philosophy and anthropology at the universities of Paris and Cambridge, where he did his graduate work with Professor Jack Goody, on memory constraints on the transmission of oral literature. He has done anthro- pological fieldwork in Cameroon on the transmission of the Fang oral epics and on Fang traditional religion. Since then, he has worked mostly on the experi- mental study of cognitive capacities underlying cultural transmission. After teaching in Cambridge, San Diego, Lyon, and Santa Barbara, Boyer moved to his present position at the departments of anthropology and psychology at Washington University, St. Louis. James V.

  • L'obsession De La Laideur Dans Le Roman Québécois
    L’OBSESSION DE LA LAIDEUR DANS LE ROMAN QUÉBÉCOIS par Myriam Vien Département de langue et littératures françaises Université McGill (Montréal) Thèse soumise à Université McGill en vue de l’obtention du grade de Ph. D. en langue et littératures françaises Mai 2019 © Myriam Vien, 2019 RÉSUMÉ Cette thèse de doctorat explore les manifestations de la laideur dans le roman québécois, sur une période qui s’étend d’Angéline de Montbrun (1882) jusqu’au Ciel de Bay City (2008). La sélection des œuvres romanesques qui composent notre corpus, retenues pour leur importance dans l’histoire littéraire, pose la laideur comme part essentielle de l’identité même du roman québécois. Notre enquête suggère que la laideur, étudiée à travers les thèmes qu’elle recouvre mais aussi dans les formes narratives singulières qu’elle exacerbe, contribue à définir les œuvres d’ici, à les singulariser dans leur caractère exubérant, débraillé, indocile. L’examen des textes fait voir que la présence du laideron, de la langue torturée, de la ville monstrueuse, impose à travers le motif commun de la laideur une réelle continuité dans l’imaginaire. Ainsi nous postulons que la laideur, qui revient comme une obsession dans des œuvres majeures d’esthétiques et d’époques variées, permet de donner forme concrète à une honte qui ne cesse de surgir sous la plume des écrivains d’ici. Cette hypothèse détermine une méthode d’analyse à la croisée de la poétique du roman et de l’histoire littéraire, qui soulève aussi la question du réalisme romanesque en contexte québécois. La laideur se fait l’instrument d’une représentation plus authentique du réel, d’un monde à dénoncer dans ses travers, d’une écriture à déprendre aussi de sa gêne linguistique.

  • Remembering and Forgetting: Narrative As Cultural Memory
    02 Brockmeier (MJ/d) 1/2/02 9:39 am Page 15 Abstract This paper has two objectives: one is to explore the dialectics of remembering and forgetting, an issue traditionally neglected in psychological memory research; the other is to question the widespread dichotomy of individual and social memory. To do so, a cultural-historical perspective is outlined that allows us to conceive of individual memory as an inextricable part of an overarching cultural discourse, the discourse of cultural memory. In this discourse, narrative practices are of central importance because they combine various cultural symbol systems, integrating them within one symbolic space. In order to explain and illustrate this conception of narrative, a historical memorial and work of art is examined. Three narrative orders of this artwork are distinguished—the linguistic, semiotic and performative or discursive—and discussed as particular forms of meaning construction. Together, they constitute a mnemonic system, a symbolic space of remembering and forgetting in which the time orders of past and present are continuously recombined. Key Words cultural memory, narrative, remembering, symbol system Jens Brockmeier University of Toronto, Canada, and Free University Berlin, Germany Remembering and Forgetting: Narrative as Cultural Memory Reading the psychological literature on memory, there is little doubt who plays the leading roles on this stage. The radiant hero in the lime- light is Remembering, attracting all attention, support and sympathy. The shady villain is Forgetting, the trouble maker who is lurking behind the scenes, always ready to counter-act Remembering and thwart its achievement. There are various scenarios in which this plot is acted out.

INSIDE Eisenhower Presidential Museum Renovations Underway Meredith’s Memo After weeks of carefully removing artifacts from exhibit cases and completely emptying the classroom cabinets, construction has officially commenced at the Eisenhower Special Recognition Presidential Museum. This renovation project is a grassroots effort that is being funded through donations to the Eisenhower Foundation’s Dwight D. Eisenhower: A Legacy of Celebrating our Heroes Leadership Capital Campaign. As U.S. Senator Jerry Moran remarked in a recent letter of support, “The Foundation’s Our Partners vision, as laid out in its ‘A Legacy of Leadership’ Campaign, will ensure the Museum’s vitality well into the 21st century.” With a fundraising goal of $11.75 million, the Did You Know? Campaign is near completion and the Eisenhower Foundation is grateful to the individuals, foundations, and corporations that have made this project a reality. IKEducation In May, the Dane G. Hansen Foundation joined the President’s Club — an exclusive History for the Future list of lead donors, that includes the Hall Family Foundation, the William T. Kemper Foundation, and the Sunderland Foundation — with a second major grant to the Upcoming Events Campaign. In addition, gifts made by the DeBruce Foundation and the Walter S. and Evan C. Jones Testamentary Trust, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee, both in the First Spotlight Event Family Club, have enabled the project to stay on the current timeline that allows the Museum to reopen in time for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day — June 6, 2019.

  • Introduction: Searching for Cultural Memory
    01 Brockmeier (MJ/d) 1/2/02 9:39 am Page 5 Abstract This Introduction situates the papers and commentaries of this Special Issue on ‘Narrative and Cultural Memory’ within the context of a new multidisciplinary research literature that suggests localizing memory in culture and, in doing so, focuses on the role of narrative. This literature is viewed against the backdrop of a fundamental critique of the traditional notion of memory as reflecting one strand in the emergence of a new post- positivist cultural research paradigm in the study of memory. Key Words methodology, narrative, post-positivist paradigm of memory Jens Brockmeier University of Toronto, Canada, and Free University Berlin, Germany Introduction: Searching for Cultural Memory Perhaps there was a time when it could seem obvious what memory is, and why it matters. To be sure, for most philosophers and writers in the Western tradition, memory and the ability to remember the past were unquestionable and indisputable parts of the human condition. For a long time, it simply was taken for granted that memory was a unitary faculty of the individual, single mind, and that memories were passive and literal recordings of experience. Significantly enough, the archive and the wax tablet were the two most used metaphors of memory in Western literature—from Aristotle and Augustine to cognitive psychology. Many considered the way to this archive, remembering, as the golden path to wisdom and all knowledge that reaches beyond the here and now. Plato, one of the most influential thinkers in the Western history of thought, saw in the process of remembering, which he called anamnesis, the key to the deepest and most universal truths.

  • Cultural Memories for Better Place Experience: the Case of Orabi Square in Alexandria, Egypt
    Article Cultural Memories for Better Place Experience: The Case of Orabi Square in Alexandria, Egypt Fatmaelzahraa Hussein 1,2,* , John Stephens 1 and Reena Tiwari 1 1 School of Design and Built Environment, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia; [email protected] (J.S.); [email protected] (R.T.) 2 Department of Architectural Engineering, High Institute of Engineering and Technology, El Behira 22699, Egypt * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +046-960-6078 Received: 10 December 2019; Accepted: 19 January 2020; Published: 24 January 2020 Abstract: Globalization is associated with significant transformations in city forms and cultural and social performances. Governments and cultural heritage organisations increasingly appreciate the importance of preserving diverse physical cultural heritage through rehabilitation and the implementation of conservation plans. Nevertheless, there is a need to evaluate whether these plans understand the importance of cultural memory in societies, as well as how it affects the human psyche. Utilizing Orabi Square, which is one of the richest Historic Urban Landscapes (HUL) in the metropolitan city of Alexandria in Egypt, this study aims to answer the question; to what extent does Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) management present a situation that maintains cultural memory and achieve psychosocial well-being? The research explored the site’s old and new conditions and place experience, applying a qualitative approach through onsite face-to-face semi-structured interviews combined with data from a Facebook group—Alexandria’s Spirit. The QSR Nvivo12 analysis program was used for the data interpretation and for charting the intangible values accompanying cultural memory such as emotions and behaviour.
