Thoughts on things forgotten: recharging the collective memory banks (New edition.)

In 'Thoughts on Things Forgotten', Sigrid Schmid-Bortenschlager and Georg Schmid enumerate on many things already forgotten (or in the process of being forgotten) and, in doing so, map the tortuous path of relinquishing useful ways of doing things.

By analyzing 'forgetting' in the light of historical context and psychological necessity, this study offers counter-strategies to the loss of social memory and stresses the benefits of social recollection.
