Theories of Memory provides a comprehensive introduction to the
rapidly expanding field of memory studies. It is a resource through
which students of literature will be able both to broaden their
knowledge of contemporary theoretical perspectives and to trace the
development of ideas about memory from the classical period to the
present.
The reader is organized into three parts:
Part I, Beginnings, is historical in scope. Its three sections,
Classical and Early Modern Ideas of Memory, Enlightenment and
Romantic Memory, and Memory and Late Modernity, lay out key
psychological, rhetorical, and cultural concepts of memory in the
work of a range of thinkers from Plato to Walter Benjamin.
Part II, Positionings, identifies three major perspectives
through which memory has been defined and debated more recently:
Collective Memory, Jewish Memory Discourse, and Trauma.
Part III, Identities, examines the key role of memory in
contemporary constructions of identity under the headings of
Gender, Race/Nation, and Diaspora.
