The target article addresses historical and present-day mnemotechnics as a practice. It also deserves scrutiny as culture writ small. For would-be Hermetic adepts of the Renaissance and Baroque, the ancient art of memory (AAOM) provided both an iconography and a projective-test vision of possibilities. In contemporary fiction, Memory Palaces become a metaphor for the workings of mind, of culture, and of information technology.
本文探讨了作为一种实践的历史和当代记忆术,也值得作为微观文化进行审视。对于文艺复兴和巴洛克时期想要成为赫尔墨斯神秘主义者的人来说,古代记忆术(AAOM)既提供了一种图像学,也提供了一种对可能性的投射测试的愿景。在当代小说中,记忆宫殿成为了思维、文化和信息技术运作的隐喻。
