Rearticulando la psicología y la antropología
This article examines how dominant experimental and cognitivist traditions in psychology have narrated the history of the discipline through a restricted conception of scientific progress: the controlled study of the individual mind abstracted from culture and history. Against this narrative, the article reconstructs an alternative genealogy linking psychology and anthropology, with particular attention to F. C. Bartlett’s work on remembering, co…
Experiencing Memorial Sites
Instagram and end of life. Exploring the mediational role of social networks in young cancer patients through a case study
The growing prominence of social networks has changed the field of death by allowing people to share their personal experience of dying or surviving the death of loved ones. This paper features a case study through which we examine the mediational role of new technologies in end-of-life experiences in young cancer patients. The case study revolves around an Instagram account created by a young Spanish woman after being diagnosed with a cancer tha…
Griefbots. A New Way of Communicating With The Dead
Between War and Peace, Past and Future
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is widely known as a universal symbol of peace, but there have not been studies of how people actually experience and interpret it. This article presents a detailed case study of a visit to the memorial by using an innovative methodology based on the use of subjective cameras (subcams). Results show that despite the monolithic idea of peace that the memorial officially represents, it is experienced and interpreted in…
Grief, photography and meaning making
This article examines the value of using photography as both a methodological and therapeutic tool for the construction – and study – of meanings after a death-related loss. A study case, consisting of narratives of mourning elicited through a personal photo diary and a follow-up interview, will be analysed in light of five key advantages of using photography to study grief experiences according to a social constructivist approach. These advantag…
Memorials as Healing Places
Memorials are increasingly used to encourage people to reflect on the past and work through both individual and collective wounds. While much has been written on the history, architectural forms and controversies surrounding memorials, surprisingly little has been done to explore how visitors experience and appropriate them. This paper aims to analyze how different material aspects of memorial design help to create engaging experiences for visito…
Memorials from the perspective of experience
Memorials are cultural artifacts constructed to mediate memory for a shared past. But as such, they require people’s active engagement with them, which can generate divergent experiences and interpretations. The present study compares how different memorial forms both enable and constrain people’s relating to the sites and what they are meant to represent. The comparison hinges on the difference between traditional memorials (imposing, vertical, …
Narratives of Loss
Grief is not an exclusively private and intrapsychic phenomenon but a dynamic process whereby the bereaved negotiates the meaning of the loss in a way that may challenge his/her personal self-narrative. Drawing on a social constructionist model of grief, this paper features a case study where we analyse narratives of mourning elicited through a personal photographic project. The visual-based narrative methodology used in our study (photo-producti…
European unification as lived memory
Concerned about a lack of legitimacy, European Union (EU) institutions have increasingly engaged in memory politics to enhance European identity. Yet, memory of the EU is still closely connected to the collective identity formation of nation‐states, especially in the field of education, the focus of this study. Inspired by this dilemma, the present paper examines the representations of European unification in textbooks of six countries: Ireland, …
Collective grief
Death ruptures the social bonds that hold society together by tearing away its members. Various rituals must be performed and material artifacts constructed to re-integrate the deceased and bereaved into the social order. From the perspective of collective life, grief is experienced not only as an individual’s emotional reaction to loss but also publicly, in the first-person plural-we grieve for the loss of our group’s members. This is particular…
Memorials, movement and the method of subjective cameras
The return to experience in psychology involves recognising the limitations of traditional mono-modal approaches based on verbal data, detached from activity and context. This paper describes our use of subcams to explore how people experience and engage with the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin. Participants first walked around the memorial on their own while wearing a subcam and second they commented on their experience while w…
Memory in the Wild
Narrative Forms in the Recall of National History
Between the Unbearable Weight and Lightness of the Past. Banal Silence in Spain’s Post-Dictatorship Memory Politics
The Presence of Grief
The authors involved in the creation of this text collaborate on a research project called The Culture of Grief, which explores the current conditions and implications of grief. The authors mostly employ conventional forms of qualitative inquiry, but the present text represents an attempt to reach a level of understanding not easily obtained through conventional methods. The group of authors participated as members of the audience in an avant-gar…
Culture, history, and psychology
Psychologists have typically narrated their discipline’s history so as to glorify an experimental method, which analyzes the mind independently of cultural and historical factors. In line with Jahoda’s sociocultural sensitivity to psychology, this article critically interrogates the plausibility for this vision of psychology as cut off from wider social processes, and offers an alternative based on a re-appropriation of concepts and methods from …
The end into the beginning
Prolepsis – or the narrative manoeuver consisting of narrating or evoking a future event in advance – is a concept borrowed from literary theory that has been used in Psychology for studying the contribution of culture and meaning to development. Cole applies the notion of prolepsis to upbringing insofar as parents’ imagined goals vis-à-vis their offspring guide their educational childrearing, thus channelling the child’s present towards the pare…
Collective memory and social sciences in the post-truth era
The past has never been as relevant for the present as it is in today's Post-truth world.Not just because many of our political leaders are promising to bring us back to a past that never existed -the Great America of Trump, the Lost Empire of Farage or the French Resistance of Le Pen -but because it seems more and more likely that they are bringing us back to the past as it actually happened -a past where populism successfully brought nationalis…
The Self in Movement
Between history and cultural psychology
Innis’ and Brinkmann’s papers tackle two key aspects in cultural psychology: the mediating role played by the different systems of meanings throughout history in making sense of the world, and the normative role of those systems, including psychology itself. This paper offers a reflection on these two issues. It begins by highlighting the contribution of psychology and history, as emerging disciplines in the 19th century, to the creation of a nor…
From Mind to Context, from Accuracy to Meaning. Exploring the Grammar of Remembering as a Socially Situated Act
Conflict, memory, and positioning
The aim of this paper was to bring the dialogical and multivoiced dimension of conflict to the fore in the study of how people remember a particular event in the past. Drawing from different case studies, it contains analyses of how subjects identifying with different political actors in the Basque conflict adopted their respective positions, and interpretation of the conflict, and how, in light of same, they reconstruct the failed peace process …
Conflict and memory
This introduction to the special issue on conflict and memory aims to underscore the importance of memory (whether individual and collective) in relation to intergroup conflicts. We argue that the way in which societies reconstruct and bring the past into the present—especially, the historical past—is crucial when it comes to the study of intergroup conflict dynamics. In this regard, we also highlight the growing importance of memory studies with…
