"Memory" as a social practice: some theoretical observations
Abstract
In this paper I want to criticize the claim, familiar from some social-constructionist accounts, that "memory" be understood, largely or exclusively, as a "social discursive practice". I want to defend the argument that, to be intelligible, and to be properly used in social psychology, the notion of memory entails mental attitudes and the truth-conditions of language. Hence I plead for a wider understanding of what it is involved in the concept of "social practice".Keywords
