The increasing centrality of memory to work being done across a
wide range of disciplines has brought along with it vexed questions
and far-reaching changes in the way knowledge is pursued. This
timely collection provides a forum for demonstrating how various
disciplines are addressing these concerns. Is an historian's
approach to memory similar to that of theorists in media or
cultural studies, or are their understandings in fact
contradictory? Which methods of analysis are most appropriate in
which contexts? What are the relations between individual and
social memory? Why should we study memory and how can it enrich
other research? What does its study bring to our understanding of
subjectivity, identity and power? In addressing these knotty
questions, Memory and Methodology showcases a rich and diverse
range of research on memory. Leading scholars in anthropology,
history, film and cultural studies address topics including places
of memory; trauma, film and popular memory; memory texts;
collaborative memory work and technologies of memory. This timely
and interdisciplinary study represents a major contribution to our
understanding of how memory is shaping contemporary academic
research and of how people shape and are shaped by memory.
