The article focuses on the link between memory, folk narratives, and critical thinking. I suggest in particular that there are instances in which the transmission of a folkloric story, such as a legend or a tale, can intersect with a person’s life experiences and facilitate the articulation of critical perspectives on society that might otherwise go unexpressed. The opportunity for discussing this idea is offered by the work of early twentieth-century Chicago sociologist Jane Addams. In her book The Long Road of Woman’s Memory (1916) Addams dealt with the modern revival of an ancient legend and investigated its interplay with the recollections, grievances, and aspirations of working-class women.

记忆、民间叙事和社会批判：简·亚当斯和“魔鬼宝贝”传奇笔记

本文重点讨论记忆、民间叙事和批判性思维之间的联系。我特别建议，在某些情况下，民间传说故事（例如传说或故事）的传播可以与一个人的生活经历相交叉，并有助于表达对社会的批判性观点，否则这些观点可能不会被表达。二十世纪初芝加哥社会学家简·亚当斯的著作提供了讨论这一想法的机会。在她的书中女人的记忆之路漫漫(1916) 亚当斯探讨了一个古老传说在现代的复兴，并调查了它与工人阶级妇女的回忆、不满和愿望的相互作用。
