This title was first published in 2000. Incorporating studies of
Freudian and Marxist approaches to questions of history and memory,
this timely collection illuminates how history is being refigured
in contemporary literary, cultural and theoretical studies. The
contributors to this volume invite the reader to attend to the
forms - linguistic, visual, monumental - by which a connection
with, or separation from, the past takes place. It is current
thinking about memory's relationship to history, and the ongoing
critical reassessment of historicism, that preoccupies this
collection. The volume explores the ways in which current thinking
about the past operates within a dialogic space and can be located
in relation to multiple perspectives. Thus cultural memory can be
seen not just as a recent development within the field of cultural
studies, but as constructing a between-space which also draws in
aspects of psychoanalysis. Similarly, trauma theory may usefully be
conceptualized as operating in a rich and complex dynamic between
deconstruction and the work of Freud. Temporality, memory and the
past are attended to here in terms of the dislocations of
narrative, of resistances to linear genealogies, to aid the reader
in making unanticipated connections between theories and cultures,
and between the demands of the psyche and the polis.
