Memories are not static or frozen, remaining in particular sites or
places, within and belonging to particular groups, cultures or
nations; rather, memory travels. Broadly speaking, memory has
travelled because of the demographic displacements brought about by
modernity's extremes - slavery, colonialism, ethnic cleansing and
genocide - and also because of the trade, travel and migration made
possible by globalisation. Whether social movement is violent,
exilic, migratory, emancipatory or oppressive, it is accompanied by
memory. With the movement of people, memories of modernity's
histories and postmodern legacies meet, correspond and often become
mutually constitutive. Even where memories compete with each other
for cultural dominance, mutual dialogue and recognition is implicit
if not explicit. Memories travel through and across cultures and
national boundaries, a process increasingly facilitated by mass
media technologies. This collection explores a range of case
studies of transcultural memory as well as theorising the mobility
of memory as it travels. It was originally published as a special
issue of the journal parallax.
