Memory and memory studies have shaped a major site of humanities
research over the last twenty years. Examined by ethnographers,
archaeologists, social scientists, historians, economists,
archivists, art historians, and literary scholars, the theme of
memory - individual memory and memoir, collective memory, official
memory and oral memory, cultural memory and popular memory - has
informed academic discourse and formed institutional structures.
Yet, the matter of memory is, paradoxically, under-explored in
studies of the 'long nineteenth century' in France. "Mapping Memory
in Nineteenth-Century French Literature and Culture "focuses
critical attention on that neglected century when France was
struggling to negotiate the serially renewed memory of
revolutionary turmoil and socio-cultural redefinition. This volume
explores the spaces that the memory process claims and shapes, and
it works to identify the crosscurrents that connect those spaces.
It asks how memory resists - or cedes to - colonisations by
authority, by official discourse, by history, and by aesthetics. It
asks how memory-work coincides with or morphs into the processes of
the imagination. Eschewing diachronic approaches, the contributors
to this volume explore "sites "around which memory is concentrated
or which it shapes and informs: Memory on the Street; Sites of
National Memory; Metamorphoses: Memory and Literary Practice; and
Memory's Imaginary Spaces.
