Аннотация
Brockmeier integrates perspectives of several fields and shows that the
use of the archive metaphor is reaching its expiration date. What he
offers as an alternative to the metaphor is a new model based on the
socio-cultural approach. Although the present author agrees with
Brockmeier on the limitations of the archive metaphor and acknowledges
the significance of the socio-cultural approach or narrative turn, yet a
new view on body-environment relations and time is needed for a new
theory of memory. We have found it to be a necessity when working on
issues of examination of confession and testimony in legal settings. Our
research team has accumulated practical and empirical evidence to
propose an ecological approach to remembering and memory. It is also an
alternative to the archive metaphor. An ecological approach to
remembering and memory in constructing our scholarly autobiography is
outlined.
