Collective memory has been a notoriously difficult concept to define. I appeal to Paul Ricoeur and argue that his account of the relationship of the self and her community can clarify the meaning of collective memory. While memory properly understood belongs, in each case, to individuals, such memory exists and is shaped by a relationship with others. Furthermore, because individuals are constituted over a span of time and through intersubjective associations, the notion of collective memory ought to be understood in terms of the way that memory enacts and reenacts networks of relations among individuals and the communities to which they belong, rather than in terms of a model that reifies either individuals or groups. Ricoeur’s account can show sources of oppression and offers ways to respond to them.

Abstract This paper examines the relationship between narrative and subjectivity. It begins by examining the subject in the work of Paul Ricoeur and Thomas Berry and the way in which the task of subjectivity for both thinkers is related to narrative. Although occupying different disciplines, both men share a commitment to narrative. Ricoeur in his formation of narrative identity and the unity that this provides to a life, and Berry in his use of narrative in proposing a new human identity. Through an examination of Ricoeur and Berry’s approach to narrative, specifically in how it contributes to the development of subjectivity, this paper suggests that such an approach has validity as a method in addressing the ecological crisis.

RESUMOEste trabalho se detém no livro La chambre claire de Roland Barthes e procura comparar os conceitos de studium e punctum, formulados nesta obra, aos pólos em oposição que definem a faculdade mnemônica humana segundo a fenomenologia da memória descrita por Paul Ricœur. O ponto de contato entre a memória e a imagem fotográfica, por sua vez, encontra-se a partir do princípio de distanciamento implícito em ambas: se a memória, como diz Aristóteles, “é do passado” e depende da distinção temporal entre a lembrança e o objeto ou evento a que a lembrança se refere, a imagem fotográfica, por conta da relação de contiguidade que estabelece com seu referente, também implica na demarcação de um distanciamento temporal entre signo e referente. A partir da verificação de similaridades entre a fotografia e a fenomenologia da memória, pretende-se, finalmente, estabelecer os pontos em comum que ambas as operações possuem em relação ao tempo.Palavras ChaveFotografia, Roland Barthes, fenomenologia da memória. Abstract This paper delves into the book La chambre claire written by Roland Barthes and compares the concepts of studium and punctum, conceived within this text, to the opposing poles that defines the mnemonic human faculty according to Paul Ricœur’s phenomenology of memory. The link between the memory and the photographic image, by its turn, lies in the detachment principle implied in both: if memory, as Aristotle says, “is of the past” and relies on the temporal distinction between the recollection and the object or event accounted by this recollection, the photographic image, due to the relationship of contiguity established with its referent, implies on the demarcation of a temporal detachment between sign and its referent. From the recognition of similarities between the photography and the phenomenology of memory, this study aims to establish the common aspects that both operations has in their relationship with time.Key wordsPhotography, Roland Barthes, phenomenology of memory.

A narrativa foi — e é — objeto de reflexão na ciência história por diferentes autores e distintas abordagens. Este artigo acompanha o movimento de análise que tematiza a narrativa histórica, a fim de ampliar a reflexão acerca do “estatuto narrativo” da História acadêmica e didática e entender os limites e as possibilidades de sua pretensão em representar o passado. Com essa problematização, almeja-se colocar a narrativa como foco de análise no ensino de História como caminho passível para enfrentar as disputas de narrativas que perfilam o cotidiano da sala de aula. Para tanto, recorre-se a diferentes autores, em especial Paul Ricœur, para explicitar em que consiste a narrativa histórica e quais os procedimentos que atribuem legitimidade e reconhecimento a sua representação do passado. Pelo arcabouço teórico mobilizado, defende-se que os procedimentos constituidores da narrativa histórica podem ser acionados como uma estratégia viável para lidar com as disputas de narrativa em sala aula e promover o entendimento sobre a relação de confiança e credibilidade que esse relato escrito desfruta na tarefa de representar o passado.***The narrative was - and is - an object of reflection in history by different authors and different approaches. The article follows the movement of analysis that focuses on the historical narrative to broaden the reflection on the “narrative status” of History - academic and didactic – in order to understand the limits and possibilities of its claim to represent the past. With this problematization, the aim is to place the narrative as the focus of analysis in the teaching of History as a possible way to face the disputes of narratives that appear in the daily life of the classroom. To this end, it mobilizes different authors, especially Paul Ricoeur, to explain what the historical narrative consists of and which procedures give legitimacy and recognition to its representation of the past. Through the mobilized framework, it is argued that the procedures which constitute historical narrative can be used as a viable strategy to deal with classroom narrative disputes and to promote understanding of the relationship of trust and credibility that this written report rejoices in the task of representing the past.

RESUMENEl trabajo examina críticamente la afirmación central de la hermenéutica de Paul Ricoeur, a saber, que el soporte material de la escritura es el rasgo determinante para que una secuencia discursiva sea considerada como un texto. La escritura cancela las condiciones fácticas de la enunciación y crea, de este modo, un ámbito de sentido estable en el que se puede validar una concepción de la subjetividad que está implicada en las dos estrategias de lecturas (el análisis estructural y la apropiación), esto es, un sujeto pasivo que se constituye por la idealidad del significado. Asimismo, el trabajo intentará precisar una serie de ambigüedades en el uso que Ricoeur hace del «ser en el mundo» para sostener la referencialidad del discurso.PALABRAS CLAVETEXTO, ESCRITURA, REFERENCIA, SUBJETIVIDAD, MUNDOABSTRACTThis paper critically examines the main assertion of Paul Ricoeur´s hermeneutics, i.e., that the material base of writing is the determining feature to consider a discursive sequence as a text. Writing cancels the factual conditions of enunciation and creates, in this way, a background of stable meaning where it is possible to validate a conception of subjectivity implicated in the two reading strategies (the structural analysis and the appropriation), i.e., a passive subject constituted by the ideality of meaning. Likewise, this paper aims to clarify some ambiguities in the way Ricoeur uses the «beings in the world» to support the discourse referentiality.KEY WORDSTEXT, WRITING, REFERENCE, SUBJECTIVITY, WORLD

The book’s epilogue explores the place of musical portraiture in the context of posthumous depictions of the deceased, and in relation to the so-called posthuman condition, which describes contemporary changes in the relationship of the individual with such aspects of life as technology and the body. It first examines Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo to view how Bernard Herrmann’s score relates to issues of portraiture and the depiction of the identity of the deceased. It then considers the work of cyborg composer-artist Neil Harbisson, who has aimed, through the use of new capabilities of hybridity between the body and technology, to convey something akin to visual likeness in his series of Sound Portraits. The epilogue shows how an examination of contemporary views of posthumous and posthuman identities helps to illuminate the ways music represents the self throughout the genre of musical portraiture.

AbstractThis paper surveys the history of anthropological work on Burma, dealing both with Burman and other ethnic groups. It focuses upon the relations between anthropology and other disciplines, and upon the relationship of such work to the development of anthropological theory. It tries to show how anthropology has contributed to an overall understanding of Burma as a field of study and, conversely, how work on Burma has influenced the development of anthropology as a subject. It also tries to relate the way in which anthropology helps place Burma in the broader context of Southeast Asia.
