Abstract

Review

This submission, titled "REVIEW ESSAY: 'Story and memory. Memory and story'," immediately signals an exploration into a fundamental interdisciplinary nexus. The title itself suggests a deep dive into the reciprocal relationship between narrative and recall, implying a critical examination of how stories shape and preserve memories, and conversely, how memories are constructed and conveyed through storytelling. However, a comprehensive and meaningful review is currently unattainable as the abstract, a critical component for understanding the essay's scope, methodology, and central arguments, has not been provided. The absence of an abstract significantly impedes the ability to assess the essay's contribution to the field. For a review essay, the abstract typically outlines the primary texts or theoretical frameworks being engaged, the specific questions or debates the essay seeks to address, and the overarching thesis or critical perspective offered. Without this vital information, it is impossible to determine whether the essay focuses on literary theory, psychology, history, cultural studies, or a unique interdisciplinary blend. Furthermore, it prevents an evaluation of whether the essay offers a novel synthesis, a critical re-evaluation of existing scholarship, or an introduction to a less-explored dimension of the "story and memory" dynamic. Consequently, any assessment at this stage would be purely speculative. To provide a robust review, the abstract is essential for grasping the essay's aims, its intellectual positioning within relevant discourses, and the analytical lens through which it examines the intricate relationship between story and memory. Once the abstract is furnished, a detailed evaluation of its potential impact, originality, and scholarly rigor can be conducted effectively.
