This collection of essays brings together two major new
developments in cultural memory studies: firstly, the shift away
from static models of cultural memory, where the emphasis lies on
cultural products, in the direction of more dynamic models where
the emphasis lies instead on the cultural and social processes
involved in the ongoing production of shared views of the past; and
secondly, the growing interest in the role of the media, and their
role beyond that of mere storage, within these dynamics. The
specific concern of this collection is linking the use of media to
the larger socio-cultural processes involved in collective
memory-making. The focus rests in particular on two aspects of
media use: the basic dynamics of "mediation" and "remediation". The
key questions are: What role do media play in the production and
circulation of cultural memories? How do mediation, remediation and
intermediality shape objects and acts of cultural remembrance? How
can new, emergent media redefine or transform what is collectively
remembered? The essays of this collection focus on social,
historical, religious, and artistic media-memories. The authors
analyze the memory-making impact of news media, the mediation and
remediation of lieux de memoire, the medial representation of
colonial and postcolonial, of Holocaust and Second World War
memories, and finally the problematization of these very processes
in artistic media forms, such as novels and movies.
