| Abstract |
The social impact of reading the bookRadical Lovecannot be grasped by\n the dominant discourse on the evaluation of social impact. A deep\n understanding of autobiographical memories must go beyond the\n quantitative analysis of details and episodes to qualitatively examine\n the meanings constructed through recollection. Thus, we explored young\n women\'s memories of intimate partner violence through memory narratives\n and the way these memories were reconstructed when the women readRadical\n Love. In addition, we examined the personal meanings given to this\n reading experience through in-depth interviews and a focus group. The\n results showed thatRadical Lovemade the participants more critical about\n their memories and made these memories unappealing. This reading led\n some women to leave violent relationships and transform their\n prospective thinking. In a time when impact is measured mainly by\n research articles, this qualitative analysis of the memory\n transformation promoted by readingRadical Lovedemonstrates that books\n can also have a social impact. |
