Individual and Collective Memory Consolidation: An
$35.00
An Argument That Individuals And Collectives Form Memories By Analogous Processes And A Case Study Of Collective Retrograde Amnesia. We Form Individual Memories By A Process Known As Consolidation: The Conversion Of Immediate And Fleeting Bits Of Information Into A Stable And Accessible Representation Of Facts And Events. These Memories Provide A Version Of The Past That Helps Us Navigate The Present And Is Critical To Individual Identity. In This Book, Thomas Anastasio, Kristen Ann Ehrenberger, Patrick Watson, And Wenyi Zhang Propose That Social Groups Form Collective Memories By Analogous Processes. Using Facts And Insights From Neuroscience, Psychology, Anthropology, And History, They Describe A Single Process Of Consolidation With Analogous—not Merely Comparable—manifestations On Any Level, Whether Brain, Family, Or Society. They Propose A Three-in-one Model Of Memory Consolidation, Composed Of A Buffer, A Relator, And A Generalizer, All Within The Consolidating Entity, That Can Explain Memory Consolidation Phenomena On Individual And Collective Levels. When Consolidation Is Disrupted By Traumatic Injury To A Brain Structure Known As The Hippocampus, Memories In The Process Of Being Consolidated Are Lost. In Individuals, This Is Known As Retrograde Amnesia. The Authors Hypothesize A Social Hippocampus And Argue That Disruption At The Collective Level Can Result In Collective Retrograde Amnesia. They Offer The Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) As An Example Of Trauma To The Social Hippocampus And Present Evidence For The Loss Of Recent Collective Memory In Mainland Chinese Populations That Experienced The Cultural Revolution.

The Sacrificed Body: Balkan Community Building and
$50.00
Living In One Of The World's Most Volatile Regions, The People Of The Balkans Have Witnessed Unrelenting Political, Economic, And Social Upheaval. In Response, Many Have Looked To Building Communities, Both Psychologically And Materially, As A Means Of Survival In The Wake Of Crumbling Governments And States. The Foundational Structures Of These Communities Often Center On The Concept Of Individual Sacrifice For The Good Of The Whole. Many Communities, However, Are Hijacked By Restrictive Ideologies, Turning Them Into A Model Of Intolerance And Exclusion. In The Sacrificed Body, Tatjana Aleksic Examines The Widespread Use Of The Sacrificial Metaphor In Cultural Texts And Its Importance To Sustaining Communal Ideologies In The Balkan Region. Aleksic Further Relates The Theme To The Sanctioning Of Ethnic Cleansing, Rape, And Murder In The Name Of Homogeneity And Collective Identity.^ Aleksic Begins Her Study With The Theme Of The Immurement Of A Live Female Body In The Foundation Of An Important Architectural Structure, A Trope She Finds In Texts From All Over The Balkans. The Male Builders Performing The Sacrificial Act Have Been Called By A Higher Power Who Will Ensure The Durability Of The Structure And Hence The Patriarchal Community As A Whole. In Numerous Examples Ranging From Literature To Film And Performance Art, Aleksic Views The Theme Of Sacrifice And Its Relation To Exclusion Based On Gender, Race, Class, Sexuality, Religion, Or Politics For The Sake Of Community Building. According To Aleksic, The Sacrifice Narrative Becomes Most Prevalent During Times Of Crisis Brought On By Wars, Weak Governments, Foreign Threats, Or Even Globalizing Tendencies. Because Crisis Justifies The Very Existence Of Restrictive Communities, Communalist Ideology Thrives On Its Perpetuation. They Exist In A Symbiotic Relationship.^ Aleksic Also Acknowledges The Emancipatory Potential Of A Genuine Community, After It Has Shaken Off Its Ideological Character. Aleksic Employs Cultural Theory, Sociological Analysis, And Human Rights Studies To Expose A Historical Narrative That Is Predominant Regionally, If Not Globally. As She Determines, In An Era Of Both Western And Non-western Neoliberalism, Elitist Hegemony Will Continue To Both Threaten And Bolster Communities Along With Their Segregationist Tactics. -- Tatjana Aleksic Examines The Widespread Use Of The Sacrificial Metaphor In Cultural Texts And Its Importance To Sustaining Communal Ideologies In The Balkan Region.
