This edited collection explores the political dimensions of
cultural memory work in its varied forms of representation, from
public monuments to literary texts. Addressing the different ways
that cultural texts represent the past in the present, the
collection demonstrates that cultural memory is something actively
made: the site of a struggle over meanings that can serve a range
of political and cultural purposes. The collection offers essays
that discuss the politics of cultural memory both in theory and in
practice, and features work by some of the leading scholars in the
field including Susannah Radstone, Graham Dawson, Felicity Collins
and Therese Davis. Contributors explore the ways in which memory
comes to be articulated through particular cultural practices, from
film and photography to literature and public monuments, all of
which have their own codes and conventions, modes of address and
audiences. As such this volume brings together scholars working in
a range of disciplines (literary studies, history, art history,
film studies) and in so doing seeks to establish a dialogue between
different disciplines and methodologies and to explore cultural
memory work in a range of different intellectual fields, cultural
forms and political and historical contexts, for instance, the
Holocaust, Northern Ireland, Australia, Palestine, and the former
Soviet Bloc. The collection will be of interest to students,
researchers and scholars working in the area of cultural memory
studies, for whom it will represent an invaluable collection of
current work in the field. It will also interest scholars working
in the particular areas with which it engages, for instance,
postcolonial studies, Holocaust studies, Eastern European Studies,
Irish Studies, Art History and English Studies.
