Abstract

Can a right to memory be counted among the rights society needs to safeguard, if so, what are its theoretical and conceptual foundations, and how do they relate to communications? We answer these questions by offering a new perspective regarding the right’s components, origin and justifications, the mechanisms needed to realize it and the legal framework required for such realization. We begin by first recognizing the fundamental role of memory in human life, in particular as it pertains to the creation, preservation, and endowment of identity, which justifies the need to protect it. We then discuss memory’s four elements—remembering, forgetting, being remembered, and being forgotten—and their dependence on communications. We follow by describing the nature of rights and the distinction between different types of rights. This helps us claim that recognizing the right to memory requires ensuring the capability to communicate by designing appropriate communication policies.

记忆权与传播政策:保障记忆能力

记忆权是否可以算作社会需要保护的权利之一?如果可以，它的理论和概念基础是什么?它们与传播有何关系?我们通过提供关于权利的组成、起源和理由、实现权利所需的机制以及实现权利所需的法律框架的新视角来回答这些问题。我们首先要认识到记忆在人类生活中的基本作用，特别是它与身份的创造、保存和赋予有关，这证明了保护它的必要性。然后我们讨论了记忆的四个要素——记住、忘记、被记住和被忘记——以及它们对交流的依赖。接下来，我们将描述权利的性质以及不同类型权利之间的区别。这有助于我们主张，承认记忆权需要通过设计适当的通信策略来确保通信能力。
