Resumen
Prolepsis – or the narrative manoeuver consisting of narrating or
evoking a future event in advance – is a concept borrowed from literary
theory that has been used in Psychology for studying the contribution
of culture and meaning to development. Cole applies the notion of
prolepsis to upbringing insofar as parents’ imagined goals vis-à-vis
their offspring guide their educational childrearing, thus channelling the
child’s present towards the parents’ imagined future. This view
coincides with cultural psychology in that humans are considered as
future-oriented beings, constructing cultural tools that mediate the way
we interpret the world and act within it. Drawing from this theoretical
framework, this paper applies the notion of prolepsis to collective
memory in order to examine how imagined futures are brought into the
present by means of particular ways of reconstructing the past, thus
mobilizing collectives towards certain political goals. Along these lines,
the narrative, pragmatic and normative dimensions of collective
memory are discussed. The paper concludes with some reflections on
the role of politics of imagination in promoting different ways of
relating past, present and future.
