Thanks for pointing it out.
Ant...Terrific article! Thanks for pointing it out.<br /><br />Anthony, on this site you use terms such as "social memory", "collective memory" and "cultural memory". All of these forms of non-individual memory are confusing me. I sense that you mean different things with each of these terms, but I'm not sure what they are. I understand from your little "buch" a little bit about how our individual memories are shaped by social factors, so I'm guessing that the terms you're using represent different forms of social control over individual memory (unless you're suggesting something more mystical, like a collective unconscious).<br /><br />You also posted a video of feats of a modern memory master, adding to my confusion. Isn't there a distinction between memory and memorization? <br /><br />As long as I'm on the subject ... doesn't there come a time when what we're talking about is too attenuated from the impact of real-world events to be properly called "memory"? Does memory swallow up the field of hermeneutics? If what I know about HJ is from my reading of the NT (and from what I've heard said about the NT), do I really "remember" HJ? There are times when you talk about "memory", and I think you're talking about "thought", or "cognition", or our search for meaning. <br /><br />I've raised way too many questions, so consider this an invitation from one reader to discuss more of the basics as the opportunity arises.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976868079076669453noreply@blogger.com
