Data recovery is a process of partial recovery of lost data from memory and without the appropriate context that gave the data positive, informational, social or other meaning before it was lost. As with the loss of data from a computer disk that can sometimes be partially retrieved, this process is an attempt to recover fragments of actions or situations that have disappeared in our all-pervasive social memory loss. It is important not to contextualize the event, because any subsequent contextualization is an interpretation, historization, or manipulation of lost memory.
