This volume pursues a new line of research in cultural memory
studies by understanding memory as a performative act in art and
popular culture. The authors take their cue from the observation
that art and popular culture enact memory and generate processes of
memory. They do memory, and in this doing of memory new questions
about the cultural dimensions of memory arise: How do art objects
and artistic practices perform the past in the present? What is
their relationship to the archive? Does the past speak in the
performed past (or do we speak to it)? To what purpose do objects
"recall"? And for whom do they recollect? Here authors combine a
methodological focus on memory as performance with a theoretical
focus on art and popular culture as practices of remembrance. The
essays in the book thus analyze what is at stake in the complex
processes of remembering and forgetting, of recollecting and
disremembering, of amnesia and anamnesis, that make up cultural
memory.
