MEMORIA GRATUM FACIT. THE LABYRINTHS OF MEMORY AND THE ALLEYS OF GRATITUDE SOCIOLOGICAL SKETCHES

Summary/Abstract: Memory belongs to the order of the world of culture and controls the rules of social life, both group and individual. Memory is the tissue of collective life, the center of concentration and the guarantor of cultural and social identity, and its loss, misappropriation or neglect lead to the breakdown of social bonds, and ultimately to the disintegration and disappearance of the community. By its very nature, memory includes the events of the past, which is ontologically closed, but remains epistemologically open. Gratitude is the realm of memory. The transfusion of memory and gratitude is necessary to preserve and nurture cultural identity both in the perspective of the dynamics of the individual’s biography and in relation to various micro- and macro-social figures of collective life.
