This engaging volume for the general reader explores how
individuals and societies remember, forget and commemorate events
of the past. The collection of eight essays takes an
interdisciplinary approach to address the relationships between
individual experience and collective memory, with leading experts
from the arts and sciences. We might expect scientists to be
concerned with studying just the mental and physical processes
involved in remembering, and humanities scholars to be interested
in the products of memory, such as books, statues and music. This
collection exposes the falseness of such a dichotomy, illustrating
the insights into memory which can be gained by juxtaposing the
complementary perspectives of specialists venturing beyond the
normal boundaries of their disciplines. The authors come from
backgrounds as diverse as psychoanalysis, creative writing,
neuroscience, social history and medicine.
