Summary

Jan Assmann: Cultural memory

"Communities that do not remember are doomed. The same is true for those societies that never forget, their place in history's history is assured. What is true for an individual is also true for a collective subject. A person who does not have a built-in relationship with his own past, a person who, as in some pathological cases, completely forgets his past, completely loses his own identity. He then does not even remember his name, he literally does not know who he is. In the same way, a man would who does not forget anything, who literally remembers everything, was incapable of acting in the present. Such a man, who does not have his own "horizon" that determines him, no longer "believes in his own being, does not believe in himself", so the consequences are similar to the loss of the ability to remember - he does not have his own identity...

The great media and digital revolution carried out in the last twenty years has enormous consequences for the status, character and shaping of cultural memory, and in the form of the development of artificial intelligence it only hints at the essential shifts. An imaginary archive plays a key role in the formation of cultural memory, which is illuminated in its central parts and darkened in some parts. The illuminated parts form the core of the cultural memory, and the rest languish in the dark spaces of that archive. and with the emergence of media platforms such as YouTube, traces from the past occupy ever-larger segments of the everyday present to the extent that, in their omnipresence, today they are hardly perceived as the past..."
