Description taken from the website of Routledge.
This edited collection provides an inter- and intra-disciplinary discussion of the critical role context plays in how and when individuals and groups remember the past. International contributors integrate key research from a range of disciplines, including social and cognitive psychology, discursive psychology, philosophy/philosophical psychology and cognitive linguistics, to increase awareness of the central role that cultural, social and technological contexts play in determining individual and collective recollections at multiple, yet interconnected, levels of human experience.
Divided into three parts, cognitive and psychological
perspectives, social and cultural perspectives, and cognitive linguistics and
philosophical perspectives, Stone and Bietti present a breadth of research on
memory in context. Topics covered include:
- the construction of
self-identity in memory
- flashbulb
memories
- scaffolding
memory
- the
cultural psychology of remembering
- social
aspects of memory
- the
mnemonic consequences of silence
- emotion
and memory
- eyewitness
identification
- multimodal communication
and collective remembering.
Contextualizing Human Memory allows researchers to understand the variety of work undertaken in related
fields, and to appreciate the importance of context in understanding when, how
and what is remembered at any given recollection. The book will appeal to
researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of cognitive and
social psychology, as well as those in related disciplines interested in
learning more about the advancing field of memory studies.
