Yaqiu Liu, 被束缚的过去: 记忆伦理中的个人与社会

Abstract

The issue of how to deal with the relationship between individuals and society, or behavior and structure, has always been at the core of the discussion of sociological theory. Theorists often have different stands and stick to their own views on the issue of whether the society has a repressive power on individuals or individuals have positive initiative. Past Bound, by Liu Yaqiu, attempts to respond to this core issue in sociological theory from the perspective of the ethics of memory, finding another possibility, especially in subtleties between individual and society. The traditional memory theory has also been placed in the debate about society and individuals. In this memory theory, society plays a decisive role in memory, which is particularly the most evident in ‘presentist’ of memory theory.
