Beyond the Archive

Memory, Narrative, and the Autobiographical Process

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book forces readers to radically rethink the idea of memory as an archive of the past. Examining the notion of remembering in the neurosciences, humanities, social studies, and in key works of autobiographical literature, these far-ranging studies shed new light on the narrative dynamic of remembering, forgetting, and identity.
