In recent years memory has attracted increasing attention. From
analyses of electronic communication and the Internet to
discussions of heritage culture, to debates about victimhood and
sexual abuse, memory is currently generating much cultural
interest. This interdisciplinary collection takes a journey through
memory in order to contextualize this current "memory boom." Memory
Cultures focuses on memories "outside"--in the many fields within
which understandings of memory have been produced. It focuses less
on memory as an object whose inner workings are to be studied, and
more on memory as a concept. It traces the genealogies of our
contemporary Western understandings of memory through studies of
the early modern arts of memory. It also discusses
nineteenth-century evolutionary museums, and the modernist
explorations of artists and writers. Here it explores the
differences between Western and non-Western concepts of the lived
past and compares understandings of memory in history,
psychoanalysis, and anthropology. The volume is divided into five
parts: "Believing the Body"; "Propping the Subject"; "What Memory
Forgets: Models of the Mind"; "What History Forgets: Memory and
Time"; and "Memory Beyond the Modern." Individual essays by many of
the foremost international scholars in memory studies trace
memory's intimate association with identity and recognition, with
cities, with lived time, with the science of the mind, with fantasy
and with the media. Memory Cultures will be of essential interest
to those working in the fields of cultural studies, history and
also anthropology.
