In recent years, 'memory' has become a central, though also a
controversial, concept in historical studies - a term that denotes
both a new and distinctive field of study and a fresh way of
conceptualizing history as a field of inquiry more generally. This
book, which is aimed both at specialists and at students, provides
historians with an accessible and stimulating introduction to
debates and theories about memory, and to the range of approaches
that have been taken to the study of it in history and other
disciplines Contributing in a wide-ranging way to debate on some of
the central conceptual problems of memory studies, the book
explores the relationships between the individual and the
collective, between memory as survival and memory as
reconstruction, between remembering as a subjective experience and
as a social or cultural practice, and between memory and history as
modes of retrospective knowledge. -- .
