- Abstract
This article explores the various narrative and material forms of media memory, focusing on oral and textual traditions, history, literature, imagery, and architecture. The transition from oral to textual narration leads to variation and fragmentation in memories, with textual mediums transforming memory from communicative to cultural forms. History serves as a medium for collective memory and identity formation, while literature plays a vital role in preserving marginal and individual memories, blending imagination and memory. Images and architecture are material mediators of memory that provide unique perspectives on the past, with images serving as memory aids and architecture conveying memories indirectly through monuments, museums, ruins, and trauma sites. The study of these media forms deepens our understanding of how societies remember and interpret their past and the complex interplay of individual and collective experiences.
