The book of memory : how we become who we are / by Rowlands, Mark,author.(CARDINAL)394613;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 141-145).Preface: My life as a fictional character -- Part one: The book of memory -- Part two: The waters of Lethe -- Part three: Bright islands in the night -- Part four: Negotiating with the past -- Postface: My afterlife as a fictional character."Reveals how memories aren't fixed. They soften and consolidate -- and are distorted -- each time we revisit them, even those memories most deeply ingrained. The way we call on memory is closer to a 'negotiation with the past.' From episodic memories like 'shining islands in dark waters' and forgotten 'Rilkean' memories that underpin our personalities and essential style to the memories we might hold that have been authored by others close to us, The Book of Memory draws on philosophical argument, a range of writers and thinkers, the latest neurological research, and psychology experiments to chart how memories are made, lost and remembered, with important consequences for how we understand ourselves."--

Beyond the rope : the impact of lynching on black culture and memory / by Hill, Karlos K.,author.(CARDINAL)850072;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 123-141) and index.Beyond the Rope is an interdisciplinary study that draws on narrative theory and cultural studies methodologies to trace African Americans' changing attitudes and relationships to lynching over the twentieth century. Whereas African Americans are typically framed as victims of white lynch mob violence in both scholarly and public discourses, Karlos K. Hill reveals that in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries African Americans lynched other African Americans in response to alleged criminality, and that twentieth-century black writers envisaged African American lynch victims as exemplars of heroic manhood. By illuminating the submerged histories of black vigilantism and consolidating narratives of lynching in African American literature that framed black victims of white lynch mob violence as heroic, Hill argues that rather than being static and one dimensional, African American attitudes towards lynching and the lynched black evolved in response to changing social and political contexts.1.
