Remembering in Context: Guidance for feeling This small book makes a major contribution—showing how the seemingly personal act of remembering is implicitly guided by the pre-existing ideological positioning. That positioning may be internalized by the person during one’s life course, or suggested by externally situated cultural objects that are encountered peripherally in everyday life (Lyra & Pinheiro, 2018; Marsico & Tateo, 2019). A monument to a particular event in the past, or the struggle for the visual space where commentaries on the present are painted, whitewashed, and re-painted in the present (political graffiti—chapter 6)-are all guidance devices for affective relating that the person is expected to undertake to the society. It is not what is remembered but how one should remember that is being socially negotiated—through history textbooks, parades of public commemorations, and monuments. It links socially privileged meaning systems with the personal life-worlds. Or—at the least—it makes an effort in that direction.

Abstract
Remembering in Context: Guidance for feeling This small book makes a major contribution—showing how the seemingly personal act of remembering is implicitly guided by the pre-existing ideological positioning. That positioning may be internalized by the person during one’s life course, or suggested by externally situated cultural objects that are encountered peripherally in everyday life (Lyra & Pinheiro, 2018; Marsico & Tateo, 2019). A monument to a particular event in the past, or the struggle for the visual space where commentaries on the present are painted, whitewashed, and re-painted in the present (political graffiti—chapter 6)-are all guidance devices for affective relating that the person is expected to undertake to the society. It is not what is remembered but how one should remember that is being socially negotiated—through history textbooks, parades of public commemorations, and monuments. It links socially privileged meaning systems with the personal life-worlds. Or—at the least—it makes an effort in that direction.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
