Memória cotidiana e comunicação

Abstract

The author presents the model and the analysis tools of a research involving the issues of communication, temporality and daily memory in the field of education in elementary schools of the Lisbon region. The theoretical assumptions, of interdisciplinary nature, were built upon the works of the Social Theory of Memory. Based on authors as Henri Bergson, Paul Connerton, Edgar Morin, K. Pomiam, as well as on social scientists and philosophers who have thought the temporality and the social memory, this text conceives two tendencies of living the temporality in the daily life: the first one, turned to the adaptation to the world, the other one, directed to the comprehension/construction of the time lived and to be lived. The categories identified by the method and the qualitative indicator that distinguish them suggest that the modes of memory do not exist in pure manner, but vary according to a set of interactions between the memoryremembrance and the memory-habit.
