Growing Up in Banat Region. Childhood Memories in Life-Stories
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2013, Vol 18, Issue 18
Abstract
This paper is based on grounded theory analysis of life-stories and semi-structured interviews with people who spent their childhood in Banat during various periods of the 20th century. It discusses the mechanisms of autobiographic memory correlated with social memory, the memories connected to the micro-universe of childhood, constructed around family and the impact of great events and historical changes of the 20th century on the interviewees’ childhood.
