The transnational movement of people and ideas has led scholars
throughout the humanities to reconsider many core concepts. Among
them is the notion of public memory and how it changes when
collective memories are no longer grounded within the confines of
the traditional nation-state. An introduction by coeditors Kendall
Phillips and Mitchell Reyes provides a context for examining the
challenges of remembrance in a globalized world. In their essay
they posit the idea of the "global memoryscape," a sphere in which
memories circulate among increasingly complex and diffused networks
of remembrance.
The essays contained within the volume--by scholars from a wide
range of disciplines including American studies, art history,
political science, psychology, and sociology--each engage a
particular instance of the practices of memory as they are
complicated by globalization.
Subjects include the place of nostalgia in post-Yugoslavia
Serbian national memory, Russian identity after the collapse of the
Soviet Union, political remembrance in South Africa's Truth and
Reconciliation Commissions, the role of Chilean mass media in
forging national identity following the arrest of Augusto Pinochet,
American debates over memorializing Japanese internment camps, and
how the debate over the Iraq war is framed by memories of
opposition to the Vietnam War.
