Exploring the creative dimensions of memory and remembering, Emily
Keightley and Michael Pickering tackle some of the key questions
facing the emergent field of memory studies, including the nature
of the relationship between memory and experience and between
individual and collective memory. The most crucial relationship
examined is one which has previously been largely ignored: the
relationship between memory and imagination. The book argues for
the importance of bringing imagination into the purview of memory
studies and introduces the key concept of the mnemonic imagination
as a tool for demonstrating the mutual interaction of memory and
imagination in our everyday practices and processes of making sense
of experience. Showing how the mnemonic imagination works in
various aspects of personal life and popular culture, the authors
address diverse topics such as the commercial exploitation of
nostalgia and the remembering of traumatic and painful pasts.
