Viewed as cognitive-affective processes, both emerge at the crossroads of the individual and their socio-cultural world. Memory is approached as a functional adaptation to the environment, harnessing the resources of the past to prepare for action in the present. Imagination, on the other hand, shares a close relationship with memory, as both strive to transcend the limitations of the concrete present moment, albeit with different orientations. Both are intricately embedded in the exchanges with the social and cultural milieu, necessitating the reliance on key ideas from renowned scholars such as Lev Vygotsky, Frederic Bartlett, and Mikhail Bakhtin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn pursuit of integrating these theories, the book embarks on rich empirical studies conducted across diverse cultural contexts, shedding light on the development of self and identity. These two subparts form the backbone of the book, organizing its content and providing a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted aspects of remembering and imagining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its insightful narratives and rigorous analysis, this book offers valuable insights into the complex processes of human memory and imagination, shedding light on their role in shaping our lives and societies. It serves as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary research and the importance of understanding the interplay between individual experiences and cultural contexts in shaping our understanding of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 332g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030641771\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2020\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103055606010,"sku":"9783030641771","price":41.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_abdbbbfd-8cbb-4f34-9738-936e7dc83cfa.jpg?v=1669552316","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/imagining-the-past-constructing-the-future-9783030641771","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
