Autobiographical Memory and the Construction of A Narrative Self: Developmental and Cultural Perspectives

It is a truism in psychology that self and autobiographical memory are linked, yet we still know surprisingly little about the nature of this relation.

Race in Translation: Culture Wars around the Postcolonial Atlantic

While the term “culture wars” often designates the heated arguments in the English-speaking world spiraling around race, the canon, and affirmative action, in fact these discussions have raged in diverse sites and languages. Race in Translation charts the transatlantic traffic of the debates within and between three zones—the U.S., France, and Brazil. Stam and Shohat trace the literal and figurative translation of these multidirectional intellectual debates, seen most recently in the emergence of postcolonial studies in France, and whiteness studies in Brazil.
