| Description | In the last decades one can follow a dramatic increase in the subject matters and the variety of research programs applied in interdisciplinary discourse of memory studies. In spite of this proliferation the memory discourse’s foundational dichotomies such as historical-biographical scales, social-natural domains, and mind-body significance, remain authoritative. Halbwachs’ Dukheimianism insisting on the distinctive character of social being that requires distinct methods of inquiry still provides a justification for an autonomous cultural interpretive strategy, countering the hegemonic order of naturalist, primarily cognitivist, interpretive strategies. Under these conditions the phenomenological tradition, especially its attention to lived experience, and the ethnomethodological research program emphasising embodied practice, could provide cultural sociology with relevant insights for a a dialogue with naturalist approaches. Hermeneutic phenomenology can take us back to learn from the lived experiences of others. Ethnomethodological studies of practice can remind us the bodily contingencies of handling and improvising with equipment. Most importantly, both of them would help cultural sociological interpretations of social memory to move beyond the mind-body dualism without accepting an epistemological subordination to naturalism and without forgetting to consider any alternative relevance of phenomena than to be an explanatory force. |
