Public debates over the last two decades about social memories,
about how as societies we remember, make sense of, and even imagine
and invent, our collective pasts suggest that grand narratives have
been abandoned for numerous little stories that contest the unified
visions of the past. But, while focusing on the diversity of social
remembering, these fragmentary accounts have also revealed the
fault-lines within the theoretical terrain of memory studies. This
critical anthology seeks to bridge these rifts and breaks within
the contemporary theoretical landscape by addressing the pressing
issues of social differentiation and forgetting as also the
relatively unexplored futuristic aspect of social memories.
Arranged in four thematic sections which focus on the concepts,
temporalities, functions and contexts of social memories, this book
includes essays that range across disciplines and present a variety
of theoretical approaches, from phenomenological sociology and
systems theory to biography research and post-colonialism.
