Re: RES: [xmca] social memory

If I understand the paper on Malagasy memory of wartme atrocities, a major
point was one encountered in discursive psychology a la David Middleton et
al. Memory is occasioned. Hard to hold to that thought sometime when the
formal interview is one's only viewing instrument; the instrument becomes
transparent. Em must know more about about that topic than she might prefer
to.

Very rich territory for a year end discussion..
