Memoriality is associated with a person’s readiness not only to remember himself, but also to show a certain activity to create an attractive image of himself, so that other people perceive and remember this person positively. The “memorial stage” assumes that the activity and activity of a person to create a favorable self-image occupies a significant place in his life, claiming the status of “leading activity”. This applies to the pre-retirement and retirement periods of life to the greatest extent, but also to situations of real risks to life (in war, in various extreme cases, in conditions of irrational impulses that are difficult to overcome, etc.). A special status is acquired by the “memorial stage” after a person’s life. The article attempts to reveal the essence of “memoriality” (as “memorial activity”) and the “memorial stage” associated with the life and biography of a person (both during the life of a person and after his death). A generalized model of “memoriality” is proposed, based on the correlation of a real integral person, the attitude to him on the part of this person himself (I-image), on the part of society (social image) and on the part of culture — in material and digital media reflecting the contribution of this person to culture (cultural image).
