Description

The increasing centrality of memory to work being done across a wide range of disciplines has brought along with it vexed questions and far-reaching changes in the way knowledge is pursued.

This timely collection provides a forum for demonstrating how various disciplines are addressing these concerns.

Is an historian's approach to memory similar to that of theorists in media or cultural studies, or are their understandings in fact contradictory?

Which methods of analysis are most appropriate in which contexts?

What are the relations between individual and social memory?

Why should we study memory and how can it enrich other research?

What does its study bring to our understanding of subjectivity, identity and power?

In addressing these knotty questions, Memory and Methodology showcases a rich and diverse range of research on memory.

Leading scholars in anthropology, history, film and cultural studies address topics including places of memory; trauma, film and popular memory; memory texts; collaborative memory work and technologies of memory.

This timely and interdisciplinary study represents a major contribution to our understanding of how memory is shaping contemporary academic research and of how people shape and are shaped by memory.
