In the postcolonial reassessment of history, the themes of
colonialism, decolonisation and individual and collective memory
have always been intertwined, but it is only recently that the
transcultural turn in memory studies has enabled proper dialogue
between memory studies and postcolonial studies. This volume
explores the synergies and tensions between memory studies and
postcolonial studies across literatures and media from Europe,
Africa and the Americas, and intersections with Asia. It makes a
unique contribution to this growing international and
interdisciplinary field by considering an unprecedented range of
languages and sources that promotes dialogue across comparative
literature, English and American studies, media studies, history
and art history, and modern languages (French, German, Greek,
Portuguese, Russian, Serbian-Croatian, Spanish). Combining
theoretical discussion with innovative case studies, the chapters
consider various postcolonial politics of memory (with a focus on
Africa); diasporic, traumatic and "multidirectional memory" (M.
Rothberg) in postcolonial perspective; performative and linguistic
aspects of postcolonial memory; and transcultural memoryscapes
ranging from the Black Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, from overseas
colonialism to the intra-European legacies of Habsburg, Ottoman and
Russian/Soviet imperialism. This far-reaching enquiry promotes
comparative postcolonial studies as a means of creating more
integrated frames of reference for research and teaching on the
interface between memory and postcolonialism.
