The book argues that religion is a system of significant meanings
that have an impact on other systems and spheres of social life,
including cultural memory. The editors call for a postsecular turn
in memory studies which would provide a more reflective and
meaningful approach to the constant interplay between the religious
and the secular. This opens up new perspectives on the intersection
of memory and religion and helps memory scholars become more aware
of the religious roots of the language they are using in their
studies of memory. By drawing on examples from different parts of
the world, the contributors to this volume explain how the
interactions between the religious and the secular produce new
memory forms and content in the heterogenous societies of the
present-day world. These analyzed cases demonstrate that religion
has a significant impact on cultural memory, family memory and the
contemporary politics of history in secularized societies. At the
same time, politics, grassroots movements and different secular
agents and processes have so much influence on the formation of
memory by religious actors that even religious, ecclesiastic and
confessional memories are affected by the secular. This volume is
ideal for students and scholars of memory studies, religious
studies and history.
