Paul Connerton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Connerton is a sociologist, currently professor in the Department of Social Anthropology at Cambridge University.
His single contribution to critical and cultural studies is his book How Societies Remember (1989) that opened the discussion of collective memory (per Maurice Halbwachs and others) to include bodily gestures,[1] finding in clothing, manners, musical performance, and other socially negotiated practices locii where memory is "silted" (to use his verb) into human corporeal consciousness and praxis.
