Abstract

The nature of time has haunted humankind through the ages. Some conception of time has always entered into our ideas about mortality and immortality, and permanence and change, so that concepts of time are of fundamental importance in the study of religion, philosophy, literature, history, and mythology. On one aspect or another, the study of time cuts across all disciplines. The International Society for the Study of Time has as its goal the interdisciplinary and comparative study of time. This volume presents selected essays from the 12th triennial conference of the International Society for the Study of Time at Clare College, Cambridge. The essays are clustered around themes that pertain to the constructive and destructive nature of memory in representations and manipulations of time. The volume is divided into three sections Inscribing and Forgetting, Inventing, and Commemoration wherein the authors grapple with the nature of memory as a medium that reflects the passage of time.

Abstract

This volume presents an entirely new, expanded cognitive view of language by examining linguistic structure and its use in communication from the point of view of memory, thus providing a novel way of analysing language. The fourteen chapters, authored by linguists and psychologists, show the need for such an approach and illustrate that the properties of numerous linguistic structures reflect those of memory in various ways. Many different methodologies are presented because of the interdisciplinary nature of the volume, without reducing the comprehensibility and comparability of the contributions. Core linguistic areas are discussed in the contributions embracing syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis; psychological aspects are restricted to memory systems and their properties. The introduction provides a concise overview of memory, and then three sections examine linguistic phenomena from various angles relating them to memory. In the first section, the contributions emphasize the issue of syntagmatic vs. paradigmatic organization in various linguistic phenomena with a focus on syntax and their locus in memory. The contributions in the second part investigate structures with non-fixed functions showing that they tend to be connected to a certain submemory sharing their features such as subjectivity and evaluation. The concern of the last section is discourse comprising coherence, evidentiality, politeness, and persuasion. The book should be stimulating for researchers and students of linguistic core areas as well as those occupied with developmental aspects and theoretical aspects of language. It also provides new insights into methods of analysis both in linguistics and in cognitive psychology. The individual chapters are comprehensible to linguists who have no background in psychology and to psychologists who have to background in linguistics.

Abstract

Can one forget atrocities? Should one forgive abusers? Ought we not hope for the final reconciliation of all the wronged and all wrongdoers alike, even if it means spending eternity with perpetrators of evil? We live in an age when it is generally accepted that past wrongs--genocides, terrorist attacks, bald personal injustices--should be constantly remembered. But Miroslav Volf here proposes the radical idea that letting go of such memories--after a certain point and under certain conditions--may actually be the appropriate course of action. While agreeing with the claim that to remember a wrongdoing is to struggle against it, Volf notes that there are too many ways to remember wrongly, perpetuating the evil committed rather than guarding against it. In this way, "the just sword of memory often severs the very good it seeks to defend." He argues that remembering rightly has implications not only for the individual but also for the wrongdoer and for the larger community. Volf's personal stories of persecution offer a compelling backdrop for his search for theological resources to make memories a wellspring of healing rather than a source of deepening pain and animosity. Controversial, thoughtful, and incisively reasoned, The End of Memory begins a conversation hard to ignore. - Publisher.

Abstract

Das Themenfeld "Kulturelles Gedächtnis" bzw. "Erinnerungskulturen" boomt in den Kulturwissenschaften. Obwohl der enge Zusammenhang zwischen Medien und gesellschaftlichen Erinnerungsprozessen stets betont wird, bleiben bisherige Konzepte hier oft vage, und insbesondere die Forschung zu gesellschaftlicher Erinnerung in Zeiten moderner Medientechnologien steht noch am Anfang. Der Band setzt an dieser Diagnose an und rückt den Zusammenhang von Medien, Kultur und gesellschaftlicher Erinnerung in der Gegenwart in den Mittelpunkt eines neuen Theorieangebots. Aufbauend auf einer Systematisierung und Kritik bisheriger Entwürfe wird eine medienkulturwissenschaftliche Terminologie und Modellierung von Gedächtnis und Erinnerung vorgeschlagen, die an den bisherigen Diskurs anschließt und zugleich durch eine Integration kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Überlegungen neue Perspektiven eröffnet.

Abstract

"Drawing upon a wealth of original research and anecdotal material, Guffey unearths the roots of the term retro and chronicles its manifestations in culture and art throughout the last century. From the comeback of Art nouveau nearly fifty years after its original decline to the infusion of Art Deco into the kitsch glamour of Pop art, the idea of retro has often meant a re-emergence of styles and fashions that evoke familiar touchstones of memory from the not-so-distant past, such as the drug-induced surrealism of psychedelic art and the political expressions of 1970s afros. Reinforcing such tends in art, design, fashion and music, advertisers and the media have seized upon the power of cultural nostalgia to promote a surprising range of products."--Jacket.

Abstract

La communication verbale repose en partie sur des savoirs et croyances partagés, et nombreuses sont les théories linguistiques qui les intègrent à leur modèle, en particulier dans le champ du discours. La question du sens préalable est en effet cruciale dans les linguistiques du texte, du discours et de l’interaction, qui prennent en compte les contextes des productions langagières. Mais qu’en est-il exactement de la forme de ces connaissances préalables, de leur contribution à l’élaboration des discours, et de leur interprétation dans l’échange intersubjectif ? Cet ouvrage propose une réponse à ces questions en présentant le concept de prédiscours, défini comme un ensemble de cadres sémantiques collectifs susceptibles d’organiser cognitivement la production, la circulation et la transmission des discours. Transmis par les canaux de la mémoire discursive et distribués dans le réseau des agents humains et artefactuels de la construction du sens, les prédiscours sont des opérateurs de cognition sociale qui permettent l’élaboration des discours.
