Isabelle Bertaux-Wiame, Forms and Uses of Family Histories
The memory of « family histories » and the narrative from that the expression of this memory takes depends of social background and the way in which the members of the family evaluate his social background. Itself, the family constitutes a realm of memory, a source of practical knowledge about the social world. Awareness of past social histories within a particular family contributes to the perception of future possibilities. Studying particular family histories, the author delineates four forms of the memory of family histories : the short memory, the long memory, the genealogical memory and the myth. These four forms of the memory of family history are the expressions of particular narrators in both the space of the family and in that of the society as a whole. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
