- Abstract
In his recent book White Gloves, John Kotre writes of the origin and significance of autobiographical memory—memory that resides in the present, while positing the past. It points inextricably to the self, supplying meaning to the elemental questions of existence: Who was I? Who am I now? Who will I be? Verbal and written language, Kotre notes, has always been the primary aids upon which autobiographical memory relies. But with the advent of photography in the nineteenth century, “memory machines†came to dominate how personal memory is fixed, contained, transformed, and transmitted from one to another or through generations.
