UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/670538779 AB How did ancient societies remember and commemorate the past? And how was cultural identity, both individual and collective, formed and articulated? In recent years memory has become a central concept in historical studies, following the definition of the term 'Cultural Memory' by the Egyptologist Jan Assmann in 1994. Thinking about memory, as both an individual and a social phenomenon, has led to a new way of conceptualizing history and has drawn historians into debate with scholars in other disciplines such as literary studies, cultural theory and philosophy. The aim of this volume is to explore memory and identity in ancient societies NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN CB311 SN 1441120505 SN 9781441120502 K1 Civilization, Ancient K1 Collective Memory K1 Identity (Psychology) K1 Antike K1 Gesellschaft K1 Kollektives Gedächtnis K1 Identität K1 Geschichte K1 Aufsatzsammlung
