Frederic Bartlett
psychologist · 3 mentions across 1 reading
In this course
Bartlett was a foundational cognitive psychologist who theorized memory as reconstructive rather than reproductive—a framework crucial for understanding how minds actively construct rather than passively retrieve information. The course readings invoke his work to complicate theories of memory and cognition in relation to how systems (human, technological, or hybrid) constitute identity and meaning-making, particularly when examining the malleable nature of experience in networked and mediated contexts. Though appearing only obliquely in these excerpts, his influence underwrites contemporary debates about plasticity, agency, and the creative apparatus of remembering that the seminar grapples with.
