How do we remember persons, objects, events? Memory seems so
personal, but, at the same time, it is shaped by collective
experience and public representations. Newspapers, television, and
even celebrations and festivities mark for us not only who we are,
but also who we were and how we lived. Cultural memory and the
Construction of Identity brings together scholars of folklore,
literature, history, and communication to explore the dynamics of
cultural memory in a variety of contexts. Memory is a powerful tool
that can transform a piece of earth into a homeland and common
objects into symbols. The authors of this volume show how memory is
shaped and how it operates in uniting society and creating images
that attain the value of truth even if they deviate from fact. They
point to the relationship between this memory and our notion of
"culture." They also discuss this cultural memory on the level of
everyday life.
