The narrative of memory dialogues with the 'time of the 'experience recorded' and the 'time of the narrative of remembrance'. Paul Ricoeur in "Time and Narrative" indicates the paradoxalities of the hermeneutic circle between the act of narrating the fact (remembered) and temporal dynamics. What can be understood about the plasticity of time in the dialogues of memory? Something that Ricoeur himself will later explore in "Memory, History and Forgetting". But would this temporal plasticity be a relevant factor in the transformation of non-biographical memory into biographical memory?
Hello, Rooney Pinto. I am not an expert in Ricoeur or in memory studies, and that is why I cannot answer what you ask, but I am interested in the subject because a student of mine is researching historical memory, specifically, on how it is transmitted intergenerationally within memory. family.
What is meant by "non-biographical memory"? That is, what conceptual or analytical difference is there between "non-biographical memory" and "bibographical memory"? If I know, perhaps I can give me my point of view on the question you raise, although, as I said, I am not an expert on the subject.
Thank you for your comments. The biographical memories (or memories of experienced events) are the memory registers in which the individual was present at the event (recorded in memory as the first person). On the other hand, the memories of non-biographical memories (or memories of unexperienced events), the individual was not present in the event, but absorbed it as through the narrative of another (recorded in memory as a second person until the new reconstruction of that memory). This is a very interesting topic, because we can see the correlation between times during the narratives of memory. There are some points in Ricoeur's work about the relationship between past and present on memories, and how the mimesis work with it, especially in "Time and Narrative" and Memory, History, Forgetting" (by Paul Ricoeur). I also recommend the book "The Art of Forgetting", by Ivan Izquierdo [https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319067155].
I'd like to suggest an excellent research on this topic by Johann Michel [http://cems.ehess.fr/index.php?2538], focusing on Ricoeur's perspective on how individuals absorb memories of others. I also suggest the book "Sociologie du soi", by Johann Michel [https://books.openedition.org/pur/67259].
My research is in the scope of social memory, focusing on memories of school time (memories of teachers from the Estado Novo period in Portugal). I’m very interested in knowing more about that topic, and I would be very grateful if we can share reading suggestions.
Thank you very much, Rooney Pinto, for the clarification. Now I see the difference between one thing and another. I tell my PhD student (he has been researching intergenerational memory transmission for two years, and the fieldwork is over) to contact you through Researchgate. Of course, if this doesn't bother you. Kind regards, Maribel
Reflection on social memories and justice of memory:
The construction of a meaning for what is remembered can often result in a reconstruction of the memory, an adjustment in the time of who remembers and about what is remembered. In this sense, Johann Michel explores the theme of memory justice and reparation on biographical events. Not only as an alternative memory adopted by the narrator of the memory, but also as a socializable memory. In any case, the phenomenon of remembering and forgetting are both elements of the social polarization of memory.

In the scope of oral history, testimonies represent narratives of memory that demonstrate the sociodynamic movement between the time of the biographical event (past-past) and the time of the narrative (past-present). This temporal relationship in discourse, can be observed in a sociodynamic perspective of memory. On this point, I would like to invite you to read the recently published article: Article The oral testimonies of former teachers about school and Est...
