Cultural Memory

Begin by reading the article, "Cultural Memory, Identity, and Civil Society" by Agnes Heller (2001) handed out to you in class on paper (you only need to read your highlighted, bracketed portion) to explore the concept of cultural memory and why it holds value.  This article should be read for Monday, 10/17, to use in class discussion.

As you read your section, focus on:

• creating a vocabulary list for words you don't know or cannot recognize in context, and define them
• main concepts that Heller is presenting, claims she is making in the article
• ways that cultural memory and references are being used to build her argument
