Memory Practices and Learning - Interactional, Institutional, and Sociocultural Perspectives (hc)

Memory and learning are seen as mental phenomena and generally studied as brain processes, for example, within

various branches of psychology and neuroscience. This book represents a rather different tack, based on sociocultural

theory, cultural psychology and dialogism. Authors from many different disciplines and countries study memory and

learning as practices adopted by people in different interactional and institutional contexts. Studies range from

detailed analyses of situated activities to broad sociohistorical studies of cultural phenomena and collective memories

such as national narratives and physical symbols for commemorating events and traditions. By focusing on how

people engage in remembering and learning, this book provides a necessary complement to currently popular

neuroscientific approaches.
