This text introduces students, scholars, and interested educated
readers to the issues of human memory broadly considered,
encompassing both individual memory, 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.
