Configurations of Memory and the Work of Difference (original) (raw)

Springer eBooks, 2014

Abstract

In exploring cultural difference through cultures of memory, this chapter discusses European conceptions of memory and technics. While engaging with the classical debate concerning orality and literacy (from Plato to Stiegler) it points to the historical undermining of embodied mnemocultural traditions in European heritage. The chapter offers a mnemocultural critique of Derrida’s conception of “writing” and Stiegler’s account prosthetics.
