Sequential remembering and lived remembering in the course of experience: a videographic study

Abstract: Over the last 30 years, discussions of memory and remembering have evolved from a strictly cognitive perspective toward a broader view that incorporates the body into these processes. In this context, the present article seeks to revisit Henri Bergson’s main ideas—published more than a century ago—highlighting the close relationship between immediate experience, memory, and bodily movement. First, contemporary perspectives on memory are reviewed. Next, findings from a videographic study are presented, showing how deeply the body is involved in the act of remembering. These results point to two distinct modes of remembering: sequential remembering and lived remembering.
