| Summary: | The purpose of this article is to present history of memory techniques as it described
by French philosopher Bernard Stiegler. It is shown that Stiegler speaks from the
point of view of humanistic marxism arguing that the positive development of
mnemotechnics is determined by their integration into symbolic relations, outside
of which they becomes a means of consumer capitalism. History of mnemotechnics
is divided on two large periods — preindustrial and industrial, where the former is
determined by the dominance of religion, politics and culture, and the latter — by
the law of surplus value. It is analyzed Stiegler’s understanding of mnemotechnics
as «epiphylogenesis» or «third memory». The main features of mnemotechnical
evolution, from the first inscriptions on stone tools to today’s global digital
retentional apparatus, is reviewed |
