| Description | Sociology teaches us to see the world anew. This book offers a new way of understanding the world by means of a cultural account of remembering. Its ability to help one to see the world anew depends on the persuasiveness of its recounting of our relationship to the past. This foretells the central importance of giving up on thinking separately mind from body. Thus, concepts used in existential phenomenology are of key consequences for my account of remembering, insofar as this theoretical vocabulary gives us the tools to disclose and express the deeper structure and meaning of experiences related to sensible traces of the past. The increased importance of memory studies, especially the current emphasis given to cultural trauma and iconicity in cultural sociology, encouraged me to propose that cultural interpretation must be supplemented with phenomenological descriptions. |
