Texto e dialogismo no estudo da memória coletiva

Abstract

Bakhtinian ideas about text and dialogism provide important tools for bringing order to the otherwise chaotic and fragmented field of collective memory studies. While the definition of collective remembering may remain unsettled at this point, some appreciation of the range of options can be derived by situating discussions in terms of the contrast between strong and distributed versions of collective remembering. Building on the notion of semiotic mediation and associated claims about a distributed version of collective remembering, Bakhtin's notion of dialogically organized text is invoked. The fact that the -language system‖ envisioned by Bakhtin includes the dialogical orientations of generalized collective dialogue as well as standard grammatical elements means that it introduces an essential element of dynamism into collective remembering.The study of collective memory has recently got a new lease on life as scholars from a range of disciplines bring their efforts to bear on it. It has been examined by others, but the dearth of interdisciplinary collaboration remains striking. Publications by psychologists that purport to cover the general topic of human memory often include no mention of Halbwachs or any other figure outside psychology or neuroscience who has studied collective forms of remembering. Conversely, it is not hard to find treatments of collective memory by historians or sociologists that show little knowledge of the psychology of individual memory. In some cases, to be sure, authors have made an effort to draw on ideas

A Rainha Comilona: dialogismo e memória na escritura escolar

“…These pieces, formed intersubjectively through interaction, will constitute the subject's "memory," inserting him in the culture of his day. 3 The need for an interdisciplinary reflection about "memory" and how it works has recently been defended by authors involved in different disciplines, discussing distinct objects (WERTSCH, 2010;ADAM, FENOGLIO, 2009;FENOGLIO, CHANQUOY, 2007;PLANE, OLIVE, ALAMARGOT, 2010). From the specific standpoint of writing, there is a consensus among researchers in understanding it as a complex activity, recognized since the works of Hayes and Flower (HAYES, FLOWER, 1980;, constituted by the writer through years of experience and practice (KELLOGG, 2008), involving above all the development of long-term memory, semantic memory, working memory and learning, the articulation and automation of several cognitive and linguistic subsystems (graphomotor, visuospatial, syntactic, orthographic, morphological), as well as pragmatic and communication factors in which the task of writing is inserted.…”

Collective memories and present-day intergroup relations: Introduction to the Special Thematic Section

“…While the first would mean that groups have memory or "some sort of collective mind or consciousness" (Wertsch, 2010, p. 123) above and beyond the individual memories of group members, the latter posits that group members may share collective memories without necessarily implying that there is a group memory "just out there in the cultural ether" (idem). Note that Wertsch (2002Wertsch ( , 2010 was himself critical of the 'strong' conception of memory. …”
