In Mapping Memory, Kaitlin M. Murphy investigates the use of memory
as a means of contemporary sociopolitical intervention. Mapping
Memory focuses specifically on visual case studies, including
documentary film, photography, performance, new media, and physical
places of memory, from sites ranging from the Southern Cone to
Central America and the U.S.-Mexican borderlands. Murphy develops
new frameworks for analyzing how visual culture performs as an
embodied agent of memory and witnessing, arguing that visuality is
inherently performative. By analyzing the performative elements, or
strategies, of visual texts-such as embodiment, reenactment,
haunting, and the performance of material objects and places Murphy
elucidates how memory is both anchored in and extracted from
specific bodies, objects, and places. Drawing together diverse
theoretical strands, Murphy originates the theory of "memory
mapping", which tends to the ways in which memory is strategically
deployed in order to challenge official narratives that often
neglect or designate as transgressive certain memories or
experiences. Ultimately, Murphy argues, memory mapping is a visual
strategy to ask, and to challenge, why certain lives are rendered
visible and thus grievable and others not.
