The article presents a review and analysis of collecting as collecting things of a certain type, discussed in a wide range of this practice, from compulsive accumulation to collecting works of art and museum collections. Furthermore, there are people who store and collect things related to their experiences and intentions. I designate this type of gathering as idiocentric gathering and explore the motives of their keepers. Claiming that collecting is one of the psychic manifestations, this study uses a theoretical approach that encompasses discussions (including in-depth interviews and focus groups) about the relationship of human being and thing, memory and self. A cognitive perspective and ethnosemantic analysis are used to evaluate the collected data. I argue that idiocentric collecting is a way of connecting the past and the future, providing the custodians with a sense of continuity and connectedness in time and space.

Статья посвящена обзору и анализу широкого спектра практик коллекционирования - от навязчивого накопления вещей определенного вида до собирания произведений искусства отдельными людьми и музеями. Кроме того, есть люди хранящие вещи, связанные с их опытом и намерениями; этот вид собирания автор обозначает как идиоцентристское и исследует мотивы таких хранителей. Утверждая, что коллекционирование является одним из психических проявлений человека, данное исследование использует теоретический подход, охватывающий дискуссии (включая глубинные интервью и фокус-группы) об отношениях человека и вещи, памяти и самости. Для оценки полученных данных используются когнитивная перспектива и этносемантический анализ. Автор приходит к выводу, что идиоцентристское коллекционирование представляет собой способ соединения прошлого и будущего, дающий хранителям ощущение непрерывности и связности во времени и пространстве.
