Opis

Isurin presents a case study of Russian collective memory as it is constructed by producers and consumed by people.

Recenzje

'While work on autobiographical memory has primarily focused on the individual or the self, the current work approaches this topic from a collective perspective. This notion of a 'shared' autobiographical memory is novel and innovative, and indeed aptly harnesses the power of the collective mind in uncovering the construction of worldviews from collective memories.' Jeanette Altarriba, University of Albany, State University of New York
