Summary

Everyday forgetting can help sort and refine our memories, supporting both learning and well-being, as recent psychological research shows. Yet the relationships between individual forgetting and broader social and cultural forces remain largely unexplored. This book examines those relationships, showing how forgetting is shaped by interactions across different levels and contexts.
