For all the times that he and Sophia have been connected throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart.

Functional Disorders of Memory (PLE: Memory)
Author: John Kihlstrom
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1317745523
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 437
Book Description
Originally published in 1979, the chapters in this volume summarize the available knowledge pertaining to a variety of functional – as opposed to explicitly organic – amnesias and disruptions of memory. Each chapter is written by an expert, and each author has attempted to integrate his area of inquiry into the contemporary body of theory and research on memory and cognition. Functional memory disorders may prove to be a significant testing ground for current theorizing, and the study of these phenomena may provide insights into memory and cognition that might be obscured in the usual sorts of laboratory investigations. The intent of the volume is to contribute to the development of a more comprehensive account of the processes involved in remembering and forgetting. The reader will find bold new treatments of repression and childhood amnesia, systematic explorations of certain experimental amnesias, and challenging analyses of the anomalies of everyday memory, in this ground-breaking work of the time.

The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb
On History and Memory in Arab Literature and Western Poetics
Author: Bootheina Majoul
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527560422
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Texts act like receptacles for an ever-present remembered past, or what the French philosopher Paul Ricœur calls “the present representation of an absent thing”. They might embody an efficient remedy to forgetting but could also become a vivid testimony for exorcised traumas. This volume focuses on Ricœur’s phenomenology of memory, epistemology of history, and hermeneutics of forgetting. A special emphasis is laid on the dissension between individual and collective institutional memory.

The Construction of Memory in Interwar France
Author: Daniel J. Sherman
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226752853
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The contrast between battlefield and home front, soldier and civilian was the basis for memory and collective gratitude. Postwar commemoration, however, also grew directly out of the long and agonized search for the remains of hundreds of thousands of missing soldiers, and the sometimes contentious debates over where to bury them. For this reason, the local monument, with its inscribed list of names and its functional resemblance to tombstones, emerged as the focal point of commemorative practice. Sherman traces every step in the process of monument building as he analyzes commemoration's competing goals--to pay tribute to the dead, to console the bereaved, and to incorporate mourners' individual memories into a larger political discourse."--Pub. description.
