Copyright policy )Review: Jens Brockmeier (2015). Beyond the Archive: Memory, Narrative, and the Autobiographical Process
Jens BROCKMEIER's new book proposes a very provocative aim for memory studies: "[T]o radically re-think our very idea of memory and challenge the notions of remembering and forgetting that we have taken for granted" (p.vii). The main target for the author's critique is the archival model of memory. In order to support his approach, the author provides empirical evidence from the neurosciences, social sciences, and humanities. "Beyond the Archive" represents an innovative contribution to the field of memory studies. It brings together disparate disciplinary fields in a novel and sophisticated fashion with a clear goal in mind: to propose a new model for the analysis of autobiographical remembering. BROCKMEIER's book is a true exercise of multidisciplinary research in action, which is much needed in the current climate of psychological and neuroscientific reductionism in the sciences of memory.URN: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs160338
Jens BROCKMEIERs neues Buch schlägt ein sehr provokatives Ziel für memory studies vor: "to radically re-think our very idea of memory and challenge the notions of remembering and forgetting that we have taken for granted" (S.VII). Das Hauptziel seiner Kritik ist das archival model of memory. Um seinen Ansatz zu belegen, führt der Autor empirische Beweise aus den Neurowissenschaften sowie aus den Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften an. "Beyond the Archive" bildet einen neuen Beitrag zum Forschungsfeld der memory studies. Es vereint verschiedene Forschungsfelder auf anspruchsvolle Art zu einem Roman mit dem klaren Ziel, ein neues Modell vorzustellen, um über autobiografische Erinnerung nachzudenken. BROCKMEIERs Buch ist die Aufgabe multidisziplinärer Forschung in Aktion, die dringend benötig wird in der gegenwärtigen Zeit der psychologischen und neurologischen Reduktion der memory sciences.URN: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs160338
