This book shows how the mnemonic imagination creatively uses the
resources of photography and music in the registering and
management of change. Looking in particular at major transitions
and turning points, it covers key issues of identity for the
remembering subject and key scales of remembering in vernacular
milieus. The book explores the connections of memory and
remembering with transformations in intimate relationships,
migration and spatial mobilities, loss and bereavement involving
loved ones or those with whom close affinities are felt, resulting
in a volume that helps fill the gap in memory studies caused by
lack of sustained ethnographic work. Drawing on extensive fieldwork
on the processes and practices of remembering in everyday life, it
demonstrates how the mnemonic imagination is central to the
management of change and transition, and how its cross-temporal
interanimations of past, present and future are fostered and
facilitated by the visual and sonic resources of photography and
recorded music.
