˜Prosthetic memory,
as Connerton put it, derived mainly from a visual form, that can sustain the existence of imagined communities as effectively as does. According to Benedict Anderson this is what it is call the diffusion of printing. This does not only sits with print medium but also film and moving images, by virtue of their narrative sequence, their temporal immersion, insinuate the suggestion of ˜being there.
P. Connerton (Handbook of Material Culture)
