Relational remembering : rethinking the memory wars

Campbell, Sue 1956- (Author).

Summary: "The harmful stereotypes of women's passivity and instability that have repopulated discussions of abuse have led many theorists to regard the social dimensions of remembering only negatively, as a threat or contaminant to memory integrity. Tracing the impact of the memory wars on science and culture, Relational Remembering offers a vigorous philosophical challenge to the contemporary skepticism about memory that is their legacy. Campbell uses the false memory debates to defend a feminist reconceptualization of personal memory as relational, social, and subject to politics."--Jacket.
