- Abstract (en)
- Introduces essays in this volume through a pair of case studies, which show how Dutch commemorative prints of the 16th and 17th cs. and Papuan mortuary sculpture of the late 19th and early 20th cs. can be understood as constitutive of social memory. Begins with an overview of literature on the relationship between art, cognition and memory, then presents as an example a discussion of Hendrik Goltzius and his followers' (including Jan Saenredam) depictions of beached whales, produced at the turn of the 16th c. Asserts that these prints "cast engraving as the locus of cognitive reform, discriminating between two modes of mnemonic processing: the act of recording, and the act of interpreting".
