چکیده:
Oral memories are one of the ways to access past events. However, sometimes narrators of memory, media, power, etc. change the events in their favor. According to this research, the distortion of oral memories is done in both individual and non-individual ways. In the individual part, including personal ideas, exaggerating or understating events, selectively expressing and hiding some memories, aging, and forgetting may distort the narration. In the non-individual part, directing collective memories to unreality, forbidden subjects and topics, supporting special events, changing the context of society, and beautifying memories with the mechanism of literature are some of the factors distorting oral memories, which have been analyzed based on the books published in Guilan between 2012 and 2021. The authors are looking for an answer to this question: What factors cause memory distortion? The research findings show that since the activists and eyewitnesses of the events form their narrations based on expediency, interests, ideology, etc., we often witness different narrations of the same events. These differences can damage the credibility of the narration. Also, those in power and the media try to redefine the events in their favor. Therefore, to reach speeches close to reality, in addition to benefiting from multiple narrations, verification, and validation, the use of archival documents can also play an important role in the representation of memories.
