- Description
- Comments on Pierre Nora's theory of cultural memory loss and on Christopher Nolan's film "Memento" (2000). Then explores TC for the ways that it represents the relations between historical events and the reconstruction or remembering of these events, particularly through the character of Criseyde, her allusion to Amphiorax (Amphiaraus), and the audience's awareness of the traditional plot.
