Developments in Memory Studies and Twentieth- and Twenty-first-Century Literature and Film
Russell Kilbourn and Eleanor Ty
Kilbourn and Ty provide a survey of the major developments in theories of memory in modernity, including Proust’s notion of involuntary memory, Bergson’s distinction between instinctual and attentive recollection, Freud’s assumptions about memory in notions such as repression, neurosis, and trauma, Halbwachs’s collective memory, Caruth’s trauma theory, and van Dijck’s model of memory as intersubjective, dialogical, social exchange. The last third of the chapter provides a brief outline of each chapter in the book.
