Review explores how memory and narrative shape personal experiences, suggesting implications for understanding memory dynamics.
The present work aims to reflect on the relationship among autobiographical memory, narrative, and the relational context in which life events are narrated and received, with the aim of examining the elaborative and transformative properties of the latter. Through a review of theoretical models and empirical evidence concerning the relationship between memory and narrative, the author reflects on the elaboration of the personal past by moving beyond the view of memory as a mere archive of contents and instead proposing a plastic and continuously evolving conception of the autobiographical repertoire of memories.
