Vol 2, No 1 (2011)Towards a Phenomenology of Memory and ForgettingAlexandre DessinguéAlexandre Dessingué is associate professor at the University of Stavanger, Norway and is head of the research group of Memory Studies (MemS).Études Ricœuriennes / Ricœur Studies, Vol 2, No 1 (2011), pp. 168-178 ISSN 2155-1162 (online)    DOI 10.5195/errs.2011.42http://ricoeur.pitt.eduAbstractDifferences and trends in the discourse of memory in France have been consistent since the publication by Henri Bergson of Matter and Memory in 1896. In History, Memory, Forgetting published in 2000, Ricœur’s approach goes further than Bergson, Durkheim and Halbwachs. The memory issue in Ricœur is closely linked to a “hermeneutics of the self” that he already introduced in Oneself as Another in 1990. It seems that the traditional paradigm between individual and collective memory has been replaced by the necessary affirmation of the dialogical nature of memory related to the dialogical nature of the being as a self and as an other.Keywords: Memory, History, Forgetting, Phenomenology, HermeneuticsRésuméLes discussions autour de la question de la mémoire en France ont été nombreuses depuis la parution en 1896 de Matière et Mémoire de Henri Bergson. Dans La Mémoire, l’histoire et l’oubli paru en 2000, l’approche de Ricœur semble aller plus loin que les précédentes tentatives de Bergson, Durkheim et Halbwachs. La question de la mémoire chez Ricœur est intimement liée à une “herméneutique du soi” introduite déjà en 1990 dans Soi-même comme un autre. Il semblerait que le traditionnel paradigme entre mémoire individuelle et mémoire collective ait été remplacé par la nécessaire affirmation de la nature dialogique de la mémoire liée à la nature dialogique de l’être en tant que soi et en tant qu’autre.Mots-clés : Mémoire, Histoire, Oubli, Phénoménologie, Herméneutique
