As immortality is the stability of life, and eternity the stability of being, so memory is the stability of knowledge. The faculty of memory depends on a fully functioning brain. Remembrance and recollection are the attributes and handmaidens of that memory. An idea recurring spontaneously is remembrance; when searched and retrieved by effortful thinking, recollection. While memory is physical and evanescent, for it depends upon the condition of the brain, reminiscence is the memory of the soul. Memory is the only faculty in man directly opposed to prognostication, or looking into futurity. Memory is one thing, and mind (i.e., thoughts) is another; the one is a recording machine, a register which very easily gets out of order; the other, thoughts, which are eternal and imperishable. Memory is an important power, but the mind itself is not memory, it is restless and wandering in its nature, and must be controlled. Phantasy is uncontrolled remembrance of past thoughts and images. Phantasy is the most unreliable thing in us. Phantasy stifles enthusiasm. Phantasy is an impediment to our spiritual perceptions. When the mind is inspired by the spirit above, if phantasy intervenes, the enthusiastic energy ceases; for enthusiasm and ecstasy are contrary to each other. Conviction breeds enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity. The enthusiastic passion is a kind of fury, partaking something of divine inspiration. But it is not called forth from within, it is an insufflation from some stronger power from without, thus bringing about a disturbance of the rational mind. What we have within, that only can we see without and thus, by summoning the forgotten knowledge from Lethe, we may re-enter into the heavenly vault.
"Krell creates a remarkable interplay of meanings, allusions, and connotations--an interplay of multiple resonance which is finely tuned to Derrida's thought and which makes his essay as artful as it is conceptually disciplined. He is surely one of the most astute translators and readers in contemporary Continental thought." --Charles E. Scott
The question of memory recovery is now more important than ever with the controversy over delayed recall and false memory having spilled over from psychology to the courts and the public media. The Recovery of Unconscious Memories provides a comprehensive scientific treatment of a century of research that integrates for the first time the findings of the clinic and the laboratory. Included are authoritative treatments of hypnotic hypermnesia, free association and forced recall, the recovery of subliminal stimuli in dreams and fantasy, electrical recall, recovery of sensory-motor skills (also symptoms or "sick skills"), and modern mathematical decision theory analyses of true and false memories. Erdelyi's own ground-breaking research is presented, including his recent discovery of striking memory recoveries in long-delayed recall probes administered months after last testing. In a technical appendix, Erdelyi unveils for the first time a methodological solution to the problem of response bias in narrative recall.
This book, written by the author of The Activity and Reminiscence Yearbook, is all about exploring our very close relationship with food and its preparation. Because food plays such an important and pleasurable part in our lives it triggers many memories. Linking the activities and reminiscence ideas here with recipes will further enhance the recollection and allow us to re-experience the tastes of the past. Each chapter includes 'old' recipes for foods and drinks throughout the year and across the decades, and around these have been woven activities, quizzes and reminiscence material including changes over the years with respect to the food itself, kitchens, cooking, utensils, cookers, food styles, food fads in different decades, TV cooks, school meals, 'making do', snacks and so on. There are multiple recipes for each week of the year paired to a reminiscence theme and an activity, presented in a weekly format that activity organisers prefer. Many of the ideas and activities can be undertaken either on a one-to-one basis or as part of a group activity schedule. Group experiences tend to enhance the pleasure and allow for more discussion and sharing of memories, as well as acting as a social get-together. You can use it as a weekly schedule or just dip in and out of it at will. The book includes: weekly recipes; reminiscence principles; and activities and information for weeks 1 to 52. It is a must-have book which shows how food can be used successfully as a vehicle for social inclusion and normalisation in institutional settings.
This unique book is designed to help unlock the power of memory for people whose ability to remember has begun to fade. Among Drs. Thorsheim and Roberts's ideas are using objects to help people reminisce, as well as a study of what can be done in group settings.

An exploration of life at the margins of history from one of Russia’s most exciting contemporary writers Shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize Winner of the MLA Lois Roth Translation Award With the death of her aunt, the narrator is left to sift through an apartment full of faded photographs, old postcards, letters, diaries, and heaps of souvenirs: a withered repository of a century of life in Russia. Carefully reassembled with calm, steady hands, these shards tell the story of how a seemingly ordinary Jewish family somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century. In dialogue with writers like Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, and Osip Mandelstam, In Memory of Memory is imbued with rare intellectual curiosity and a wonderfully soft-spoken, poetic voice. Dipping into various forms—essay, fiction, memoir, travelogue, and historical documents—Stepanova assembles a vast panorama of ideas and personalities and offers an entirely new and bold exploration of cultural and personal memory.
This book is a comprehensive guide to the nature, practice and therapeutic effects of reminiscence theatre.
