Philosophy and Memory Traces defends two theories of autobiographical memory. One is a bewildering historical view of memories as dynamic patterns in fleeting animal spirits, nervous fluids which rummaged through the pores of brain and body. The other is new connectionism, in which memories are 'stored' only superpositionally, and reconstructed rather than reproduced. Both models, argues John Sutton, depart from static archival metaphors by employing distributed representation, which brings interference and confusion between memory traces. Both raise urgent issues about control of the personal past, and about relations between self and body. Sutton demonstrates the role of bizarre body fluids in moral physiology, as philosophers from Descartes and Locke to Coleridge struggled to control their own innards and impose cognitive discipline on 'the phantasmal chaos of association'. Going on to defend connectionism against Fodor and critics of passive mental representations, he shows how problems of the self are implicated in cognitive science.

Providing the first glimpse of how associative memories are actually established in our brains, this book describes a research strategy for unravelling the mystery of memory and learning. The results of this experimental quest are described at several levels of biological complexity including animal behavior, neural systems, cellular and membrane physiology, and molecular regulation. The amply illustrated text is carefully structured to distinguish between observations and hypotheses, between attractive possibilities and empirical demonstrations. Dr Alkon progresses step-by-step through a series of experimental tests of intuitive conjectures on the nature of learning and memory. The book guides the reader through a scientific detective story that sheds new light on how we learn and how we remember.

Creole Cinema: Memory Traces is the first book written in English on Francophone Caribbean cinema. It establishes a postcolonial, Caribbean, and fundamentally Creole theoretical framework for the interpretation of works which the author defines as Creole cinema, through the lens of Patrick Chamoiseau’s concept of the Trace-mémoire. In so doing, it examines the remarkable multisensory forms of memory expression performed by Creole cinema, drawing on work on intercultural cinema and haptic visuality by Laura Marks, and on Hamid Naficy’s insights into accented cinema. Initially undertaking a general survey which provides the most comprehensive account of Francophone Caribbean cinema to date, the critical framework is then developed in a series of case-studies which analyse Biguine (2004) directed by Guy Deslauriers with a screenplay by Chamoiseau; Nord-Plage (2004) directed by José Hayot, again with Chamoiseau as author of the screenplay; Rue Cases-Nègres (1983, Sugar Cane Alley) directed by Euzhan Palcy; and Nèg maron (2005) directed by Jean-Claude Barny. Each case study establishes how the Trace-mémoire manifests in a complex haptic multisensory set of dynamics which can be discerned both in individual works and across a wider range of films considered, in order to access and retrieve – here with a particular emphasis on processes of creative intuition – subaltern and marginalised memories and histories. The study works in a consistently interdisciplinary manner across areas including Francophone Studies, Film Studies, Postcolonial Studies, World Cinema, and Black Studies, and represents a timely intervention on urgent debates around black representation in cinema.

This book focuses on associative memory cells and their working principles, which can be applied to associative memories and memory-relevant cognitions. Providing comprehensive diagrams, it presents the author's personal perspectives on pathology and therapeutic strategies for memory deficits in patients suffering from neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. Associative learning is a common approach to acquire multiple associated signals, including knowledge, experiences and skills from natural environments or social interaction. The identification of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying associative memory is important in furthering our understanding of the principles of memory formation and memory-relevant behaviors as well as in developing therapeutic strategies that enhance memory capacity in healthy individuals and improve memory deficit in patients suffering from neurological disease and psychiatric disorders. Although a series of hypotheses about neural substrates for associative memory has been proposed, numerous questions still need to be addressed, especially the basic units and their working principle in engrams and circuits specific for various memory patterns. This book summarizes the developments concerning associative memory cells reported in current and past literature, providing a valuable overview of the field for neuroscientists, psychologists and students.

The surge of philosophical interest in episodic memory has brought to light a number of controversial questions about this form of memory that have only recently begun to be addressed in detail. This book organises discussion around six such questions, offering two new chapters per question, from experts in the field. The questions are: I. What is the relationship between memory and imagination? II. Do memory traces have content? III. What is the nature of mnemonic confabulation? IV. What is the function of episodic memory? V. Do non-human animals have episodic memory? VI. Does episodic memory give us knowledge of the past? The book constitutes a valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and students alike. For researchers, it provides an up-to-date discussion of some of the main theories, arguments, and problems in the area. For teachers, the book can supply the readings for an entire course, or particular sections can provide the readings for specific units within a broader philosophy of memory course. For students, the book offers accessible discussions of some of the most recent topics in the philosophy of memory, which, when taken together, serve as a well-rounded introduction to the area.

Memory occupies a fundamental place in philosophy, playing a central role not only in the history of philosophy but also in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and ethics. Yet the philosophy of memory has only recently emerged as an area of study and research in its own right. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Memory is an outstanding reference source on the key topics, problems, and debates in this exciting area, and is the first philosophical collection of its kind. The forty-eight chapters are written by an international team of contributors, and divided into nine parts: The nature of memory The metaphysics of memory Memory, mind, and meaning Memory and the self Memory and time The social dimension of memory The epistemology of memory Memory and morality History of philosophy of memory. Within these sections, central topics and problems are examined, including: truth, consciousness, imagination, emotion, self-knowledge, narrative, personal identity, time, collective and social memory, internalism and externalism, and the ethics of memory. The final part examines figures in the history of philosophy, including Aristotle, Augustine, Freud, Bergson, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger, as well as perspectives on memory in Indian and Chinese philosophy. Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy, particularly philosophy of mind and psychology, the Handbook will also be of interest to those in related fields, such as psychology and anthropology.

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations Memories are not organized by a single arbitrary dimension, such as mere association. Instead, many dimensions have been taken to be part of the structure of memory. Of these, space and time stand out: all personal experience can in principle be indexed by where and when specific events occurred, and both scientific evidence and common sense suggest that the way we relate different events together in memory draws on these dimensions. For instance, to remember what one ate for lunch last Thursday, one might call up a memory of where one was, or retrace the events of the day leading up to lunch. Some nuts-and-bolts questions arise immediately, starting with whether the spatial or the temporal dimension is primary. Or rather, do we rely on both equally? Do we represent them separately or jointly? But there are bigger questions with broad implications: What makes space and time such central structures in our cognitive world, and what is the conceptual nature of these structures? These questions are deeply related to one another, though they span multiple fields and methodologies, touching on philosophy, psychology and neuroscience. Space, Time, and Memory explores three key questions: first, the role of space and time as structures that organize memory, second, theories of the nature of memory itself that draw on space and time, and finally applications of questions about the structure of memory to debates about perception, decision-making, and artifical intelligence.

Time holds an enduring fascination for humans. Time and Trace investigates the human experience and awareness of time and time’s impact on a wide range of cultural, psychological, and artistic phenomena, from reproductive politics and temporal logic to music and theater, from law to sustainability, from memory to the Vikings. The volume presents selected essays from the 15th triennial conference of the International Society for the Study of Time from the arts (literature, music, theater), history, law, philosophy, science (psychology, biology), and mathematics. Taken together, they pursue the trace of time into the past and future, tracing temporal processes and exploring the traces left by time in individual experience as well as culture and society. Contributors are: Michael Crawford, Orit Hilewicz, Rosemary Huisman, John S. Kafka, Erica W. Magnus, Arkadiusz Misztal, Carlos Montemayor, Stephanie Nelson, Peter Øhrstrøm, Jo Alyson Parker, Thomas Ploug, Helen Sills, Lasse C. A. Sonne, Raji C. Steineck, and Frederick Turner.
