Social Memory

Rate this book
La memoria es un tema tan amplio que su tratamiento completo abarcaría de la psicología a la filosofía, de la neurología a la historia moderna y de la zoología a la «petite madeleine» de Proust. De forma más modesta, este libro se limita a dos tareas. La primera es mostrar cómo funciona la memoria y la segunda es contemplar de modo crítico cómo los historiadores y los científicos sociales la han considerado y utilizado como herramienta de investigación, y sugerir diversos aspectos en los que una mejor apreciación del carácter de su material produciría resultados más convincentes.

I've never come across a book on collective memory has dedicated a reasonable proportion of its content towards a marxist approach towards class and community memory, so this was particularly refreshing. It was easy to follow, and used many interesting short and sweet historical examples to illustrate points. It wasn't bogged down with focussing on one particular community or history, which I liked.

Recommend to anyone studying social memory, especially if you're thinking of focusing on class or community memories.
