Drawing on papers from three different areas - evolutionary psychology, developmental psychology, sociolinguistics analysis - this commentary states that there is by now an empirically grounded and theoretically reflected memory research that has begun to break with the traditional individual-centric orientation of the memory sciences. This break, it is argued, is the consequence of a new interest in the dialectics between memory and language, between social (or collective or collaborative) remembering and narrative. On this view, memory is taken less as a substance and more as a set of practices, of intersubjective and interpretive acts of a remembering subject.
本文借鉴了进化心理学、发展心理学和社会语言学分析三个不同领域的论文，指出目前已经有基于经验和理论的记忆研究开始打破记忆科学传统的以个体为中心的取向。本文认为，这种突破是由于人们对记忆和语言之间、社会（或集体或协作）记忆和叙事之间的辩证关系产生了新的兴趣。从这个角度来看，记忆不再被视为一种物质，而更多地被视为一系列实践，即记忆主体的主体间和解释性行为。
