On Collective Memory (Heritage of Sociology Series)

How do we use our mental images of the present to reconstruct our past? Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) addressed this question for the first time in his work on collective memory, which established him as a major figure in the history of sociology. This volume, the first comprehensive English-language translation of Halbwach's writings on the social construction of memory, fills a major gap in the literature on the sociology of knowledge.Halbwachs' primary thesis is that human memory can only function within a collective context. Collective memory, Halbwachs asserts, is always selective; various groups of people have different collective memories, which in turn give rise to different modes of behavior. Halbwachs shows, for example, how pilgrims to the Holy Land over the centuries evoked very different images of the events of Jesus' life; how wealthy old families in France have a memory of the past that diverges sharply from that of the nouveaux riches; and how working class construction of reality differ from those of their middle-class counterparts.With a detailed introduction by Lewis A. Coser, this translation will be an indispensable source for new research in historical sociology and cultural memory.Lewis A. Coser is Distinguished Professor of Sociology Emeritus at the State University of New York and Adjunct Professor of Sociology at Boston College.

Ayer Co. Pub

Formerly a URJ Press title. Yoga Shalom is a unique worship experience that brings together body, mind, and spirit for an extraordinary prayer service. Combining the two powerful spiritual disciplines of Jewish worship and yoga practice, Yoga Shalom leads to deeper understandings of both, or as author Lisa Levine writes of her initial forays into yoga as a cantorial student, I learned to be more present in my prayers and meditations so I could better pray with and on behalf of my congregation. Yoga Shalom can be adapted and the postures customized for your congregation, studio, or private practice, and can be done in the community of a class or in the privacy of your own home. As an alternative to the traditional prayer service, Yoga Shalom can engage and unite your professional staff, lay leadership, and community. Whether you have no yoga experience or have been practicing for years, and regardless of your age or abilities, Yoga Shalom will help you relax your body, calm your mind, and nurture your spirit. Features: Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions Dozens of photographs Advanced, gentle, and chair modifications for each posture sequence 17-track CD to accompany your practice, featuring the music of well-known Jewish artists Craig Taubman, Jeff Klepper, Lisa Levine, and many more Full-length DVD of the complete practice

La topographie légendaire des évangiles en Terre sainte

Héritier et critique de Durkheim, Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) fut le véritable initiateur et théoricien de la sociologie de la mémoire. Parue pour la première fois en 1925, son étude des Cadres sociaux de la mémoire a profondément influencé les historiens et les sociologues; elle retrouve toute son importance aujourd'hui que la question de la mémoire collective s'impose plus que jamais. La présente édition est accompagnée d'une postface de Gérard Namer, professeur de sociologie à l'université de Paris-VII et auteur d'un essai sur la pensée de Halbwachs (Mémoire et société, Paris, 1987), qui, grâce à une lecture des cahiers laissés par l'auteur, éclaire son oeuvre d'un jour nouveau.
