Szenzációk kettős szerepben

Az emlékezés helyei és miliői a médiában

Abstract

In this paper we examine which role the press fulfills in forming the memory of modern societies. We employ the concept of Pierre Nora, French historian, according to which the ‘millieux de memoire’ disassemble in the modern societies and their role is taken over by the ‘lieux de mémoire’ in maintaining the memory of societies. This study demonstrates that both the places and the milieus of memories are present in the media thanks to the so-called ‘sensation-based‘, respectively ‘evergreen‘ public life topics.
