The relationship between memory and language and the topic of
bilingualism are important areas of research in both psychology and
linguistics and are grounded in cognitive and linguistic paradigms,
theories and experimentation. This volume provides an integrated
theoretical/real-world approach to second language learning, use
and processing from a cognitive perspective. A strong international
and interdisciplinary team of contributors present the results of
various explorations into bilingual language processing, from
recent advances in studies on bilingual memory to studies on the
role of the brain in language processing and language forgetting.
This is a strong yet balanced combination of theoretical/overview
contributions and accounts of novel, original, empirical studies
which will educate readers on the relationship between theory,
cognitive experimentation and data and their role in understanding
language learning and practice.
This book examines how Russian and American media narratives inform
the ways individuals in both countries consume and construct
collective memories of one another in an age of media distrust.
Using research on collective memory, media, and the individual
mind, this book applies an interdisciplinary sociocognitive
framework to study seven 21st century political events involving
Russia. With each event, this book analyzes how ideological bias,
distortion, and schemata in both Russian and American media outlets
work to reestablish a Cold War-like narrative-and by extension,
reignite perceived enmities in the individual minds and collective
memories of both nations. The book examines this old phenomenon at
the interface of conscious media distrust among individuals who
subconsciously embrace these constructs, forming memories along the
ideological lines promoted by the same institutions they question.
By bringing together content analyses of media texts and empirical
data, Reenacting the Enemy serves as an interdisciplinary study of
psychological mechanisms behind Russian and US media to uncover
both old and new patterns of collective and individual memory
constructs in the two societies.
This interdisciplinary study explores collective memory as it is
presented by official producers (such as textbooks and media) and
reflected by consumers (group members). Focusing on a case study of
Russians and Russian immigrants to the USA and their memories of
seminal events in the twentieth-century Russian collective past,
Isurin shows how autobiographical memory contributes to the
formation of collective memory, and also examines how the memory of
the shared past is reconstructed by those who stayed with the group
and those who left. By bringing together historical,
anthropological, and psychological approaches, Collective
Remembering provides a new theoretical framework for memory studies
that incorporates both content analysis of texts and empirical data
from human participants, thus demonstrating that methodologies from
the humanities and the social sciences can complement each other to
create a better understanding of how memory works in the world and
in the mind.
