Memory serves as a portal to the feelings and moods during different life stages, extending beyond mere event recollection. While episodic autobiographical memory recalls specific events, it lacks the capacity to encapsulate the broader emotional experiences of entire phases. Affective phasic memory (APM) captures the pervasive feelings that characterize past life experiences. The concept of phasic memory by Clare Mac Cumhaill emphasizes how re-encountering certain artworks elicits memories from these life phases, showcasing the deeper connection between emotional recollections and artistic experiences.
Memory transcends simple recall, acting as a gateway to the feelings and moods experienced during pivotal life phases. Affective phasic memory captures these complex emotional landscapes.
Episodic autobiographical memory allows for vivid representations of specific events, but it often falls short in encapsulating the broader, pervasive feelings associated with entire life phases.
Affective phasic memory (APM) highlights the global emotional backdrop of a life phase, encompassing feelings that are less tied to individual episodes and more reflective of existential orientations.
Clare Mac Cumhaill's concept of phasic memory illustrates how re-encountering artworks can evoke memories associated with distinct life phases, revealing the interconnectedness of art and memory.
