How do communities remember

Author's name: Paul Conartendar Publisher: Sabaa Seven for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2020 Literary classification: Philosophy and Thought Brief about the book: We notice that our current experience depends largely on our knowledge of the past. We experience our present world within a context causally linked to previous events and things, meaning referring to events and things we do not experience when we experience the present. We also experience our present differently, according to different previous states we can connect the present to. From here arises the difficulty of separating our past from our present: the reason for this is not only that the factors of the present tend to influence – perhaps some want to say distort or misrepresent – our memories of the past, but also that the factors of the past tend to influence our experience of the present or distort it. It must be emphasized that this process reaches the most detailed aspects of our daily lives.
