Cultural Memory as a Social Phenomenon: Theoretical and Methodological Analysis
Abstract
The aim of the study is to present a theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of cultural memory as a social phenomenon, as well as to consider the main approaches to its study in foreign and domestic humanitarian discourse. The phenomenon of memory, as such, in its individual, collective, social dimension, has been one of the categories in demand for research for hundreds of years. Nevertheless, it is in recent decades that the theme of cultural memory as a stable social construct, acting as a link between the past, present and future, has become relevant with new force, acquiring, in the current socio-historical realities, a new, if not to say, missionary sound. The methodology of the research is based on general philosophical methods: dialectical cognition, analysis, synthesis, analogy, etc. The result of the presented comparativist research is the conclusion that the phenomenon of cultural memory, its nature and essential characteristics, today continues to remain in the status of a debatable category, where the development of a single, generally accepted concept of cultural memory is still far from complete, and the vector of scientific research is interdisciplinary in nature.
