TL;DR: This work reports fieldwork where participants gave a tour of their homes describing how and why particular objects become mementos, and extends the existing digital memory literature.
Abstract: Current technology makes it possible to capture huge amounts of information related to everyday experiences. Despite this, we know little about the processes by which people identify and manage mementos - objects which are directly meaningful to their memories. Among the millions of objects people encounter in a lifetime, few become such reminders of people, places or events. We report fieldwork where participants gave us a tour of their homes describing how and why particular objects become mementos. Our findings extend the existing digital memory literature; first our participants didn't view their activities as experiential 'capture', nor were mementos limited to pictorial representations of people and events; instead they included everyday objects. Furthermore, mementos were not only displayed and shared, but also integrated into everyday activities. Finally there were complex relations between house location and memento type. We discuss the theoretical and technical implications of our work.

TL;DR: The authors define a nocao de narrativa e diferencia-la de outros padroes de discurso, tendo como base estudos socio-psicolinguisticos, filosoficos e literarios.
Abstract: O aumento de interesse no estudo da narrativa e seu contexto social sugere a emergencia de outro caminho ao paradigma pos-positivista e um melhor refinamento da metodologia interpretativa nas ciencias humanas. O problema do entendimento dos padroes dinâmicos do comportamento humano parece estar mais proximo de uma solucao atraves dos estudos da narrativa do que ate mesmo de abordagens bem conhecidas, como a utilizacao do modelo de regras e papeis. Nesse artigo, abordaremos algumas das qualidades que fizeram do estudo da narrativa uma abordagem produtiva. Procuramos definir a nocao de narrativa e diferencia-la de outros padroes de discurso, tendo como base estudos socio-psicolinguisticos, filosoficos e literarios. Procuramos tambem identificar algumas dificuldades teoricas e possiveis riscos dos quais os estudiosos da narrativa deveriam estar conscientes. Finalmente, esbocamos uma compreensao da narrativa que objetiva levar em conta sua condicao particular de um discurso contextualizado e seu carater aberto e transitorio.
