This edited volume addresses memory practices among youth,
families, cultural workers, activists, and engaged citizens in
Lebanon and Morocco. In making a claim for 'the social life of
memory,' the introduction discusses a particular research field of
memory studies, elaborating an approach to memory in terms of
social production and engagement. The Arab Spring is evoked to draw
attention to new rifts within and between history and remembrance
in the regions of North Africa and the Middle East. As
authoritarian forms of governance are challenged, official
panoramic narratives are confronted with a multiplicity of memories
of violent pasts. The eight chapters trace personal and public
inventories of violence, trauma, and testimony, addressing memory
in cinema, in newspapers and periodicals, as an experience of
public environments, through transnational and diasporic mediums,
and amongst younger generations.
