Bartlett meets Schutz and Husserl
The article offers a phenomenological account of constructive memory by combining Bartlett’s theory of remembering with Schutz’s theory of relevance and Husserl’s thoughts on misremembering. It demonstrates that the phenomenological approach to the structure of consciousness significantly illuminates Bartlett’s theory. According to Bartlett, memories are constructed from schemas of past experiences, but his account remains somewhat unclear as to …
Collaborative Inhibition
The tendency for people to remember less as members of a group than they would be capable of were they to remember alone is a phenomenon known as collaborative inhibition . The article offers a phenomenological account of this highly counterintuitive effect of group remembering. It argues that the mutual failure to live up to one’s potential does not warrant the standard, strongly negative views about the role of others in recall. Rather, the phe…
Historical Criminology, Historical Time, and Embodiment
This article aims to broaden the theoretical perspective of historical criminology in a two-fold way: (1) it introduces Martin Heidegger’s notions of temporality and historicity to further clarify how the unity of future, past, and present structures our everyday lives; (2) and relatedly, drawing on phenomenological approaches to embodiment, it outlines how culture and tradition are passed down over generations by means of collective body memorie…
Adaptive Collective Memory
It has been recently proposed that memory studies should move beyond focusing on explicit, identity‐creating and backward‐looking forms of collective memory, such as commemorative remembering, and pay more attention to implicit memory processes within social groups. This article demonstrates that, in taking this advice, one would throw the baby out with the bathwater. Revisiting Bartlett's theory of remembering from the perspective of contemporar…
Whatever happened to Hungarian freedom fighters? Collective memory, collective forgetting, and dissociative collective identity
As the war in Ukraine unfolds, the Hungarian government seems less enthusiastic about the idea of state sovereignty than one might have anticipated given Hungary’s historic past. Moreover, there is a surge of pro-Russian sentiment among government supporters. This is counterintuitive in light of prevailing mnemonic practices which put heavy emphasis on Hungary’s struggle for freedom and independence. The new developments suggest that the role of …
The sociocognitive approach in critical discourse studies and the phenomenological sociology of knowledge
This article argues that phenomenological sociology has great potential to provide a strong theoretical support to the Sociocognitive Approach (SCA) in Critical Discourse Studies. SCA is interested in the interconnections between knowledge, discourse and society while placing subjectivity in the centre of its framework. It looks into the correlative relationship between personal- and socially shared knowledge, and the significance of these correl…
The Role of Relevance in Stereotyping
This article demonstrates that Alfred Schutz’s theory of typification and relevance together have a great potential to conceptually clarify certain aspects of self-categorisation theory. More specifically, it focuses on the motivational bases of stereotyping, one of the core mechanisms underlying the categorisation of people into groups. Social psychologists have found that stereotyping of out-group members is motivated by factors, such as uncert…
Border Control Reinterpreted
This article explores the potential of historical narratives to inform and guide action, taking the case of border control in Hungary. The Hungarian government has recently criminalised irregular border crossing and made a comparison between the Ottoman Occupation and contemporary challenges of mass migration to legitimise its new measures. Qualitative interviews conducted in 2019 seem to suggest that some members of the border police, consciousl…
Migration controls in Italy and Hungary
This article analyses the humanitarianism and securitisation nexus in effect to migration controls in Italy and Hungary. Noteworthy for our purposes is how the humanitarian discourse is undervalued as the EU border states emphasise either full securitisation or else securitisation as a condition for humanitarianism when it comes to border management and refugee protection measures. Our goal is to trace, on the one hand, how politicians conceptual…
