The collection showcases new research in the field of cultural and
historical narratology. Starting from the premise of the
'semantisation of narrative forms' (A. Nunning), it explores the
cultural situatedness and historical transformations of narrative,
with contributors developing new perspectives on key concepts of
cultural and historical narratology, such as unreliable narration
and multiperspectivity. The volume introduces original approaches
to the study of narrative in culture, highlighting its pivotal role
for attention, memory, and resilience studies, and for the
imagination of crises, the Anthropocene, and the Post-Apocalypse.
Addressing both fictional and non-fictional narratives, individual
essays analyze the narrative-making and unmaking of Europe, Brexit,
and the Postcolonial. Finally, the collection features new research
on narrative in media culture, looking at the narrative logic of
graphic novels, picture books, and newsmedia.

Alongside the recent cultural turn in the humanities, there has
been a noticeable return to ethical considerations. With regard to
literature as well as other media, this has rekindled awareness of
a tension, antagonism, or even disparity between ethics and
aesthetics. This volume of articles takes a more systematic and
cross-disciplinary approach to the widely mooted ethical turn in
literature and other media than has been pursued so far. It brings
together a wide range of critical perspectives from literary
studies, media and cultural memory studies, and philosophy, tracing
the complex and sometimes conflicting relationship between ethics
and aesthetics in theoretical contexts and individual case studies
as diverse as colonial architecture, nineteenth-century literary
histories, and postmodern writing and art.
This handbook represents the interdisciplinary and international
field of "cultural memory studies" for the first time in one
volume. Articles by renowned international scholars offer readers a
unique overview of the key concepts of cultural memory studies. The
handbook not only documents current research in an unprecedented
way; it also serves as a forum for bringing together approaches
from areas as varied as sociology, political sciences, history,
theology, literary studies, media studies, philosophy, psychology,
and neurosciences. "Cultural memory studies" - as defined in this
handbook - came into being at the beginning of the 20th century,
with the works of Maurice Halbwachs on memoire collective. In the
course of the last two decades this area of research has witnessed
a veritable boom in various countries and disciplines. As a
consequence, the study of the relation of "culture" and "memory"
has diversified into a wide range of approaches. This handbook is
based on a broad understanding of "cultural memory" as the
interplay of present and past in sociocultural contexts. It
presents concepts for the study of individual remembering in a
social context, group and family memory, national memory, the
various media of memory, and finally the host of emerging
transnational lieux de memoire such as 9/11.
This collection of essays brings together two major new
developments in cultural memory studies: firstly, the shift away
from static models of cultural memory, where the emphasis lies on
cultural products, in the direction of more dynamic models where
the emphasis lies instead on the cultural and social processes
involved in the ongoing production of shared views of the past; and
secondly, the growing interest in the role of the media, and their
role beyond that of mere storage, within these dynamics. The
specific concern of this collection is linking the use of media to
the larger socio-cultural processes involved in collective
memory-making. The focus rests in particular on two aspects of
media use: the basic dynamics of "mediation" and "remediation". The
key questions are: What role do media play in the production and
circulation of cultural memories? How do mediation, remediation and
intermediality shape objects and acts of cultural remembrance? How
can new, emergent media redefine or transform what is collectively
remembered? The essays of this collection focus on social,
historical, religious, and artistic media-memories. The authors
analyze the memory-making impact of news media, the mediation and
remediation of lieux de memoire, the medial representation of
colonial and postcolonial, of Holocaust and Second World War
memories, and finally the problematization of these very processes
in artistic media forms, such as novels and movies.
It is only through certain forms of social use that media become
"Media of collective memory." The phenomenon of a "Remembrance
film," too (e.g. Das Leben der Anderen, Hotel Ruanda, On connaA(R)t
la chanson ) only comes about in a plurimedial context with its
incorporation into a complex systemic media network that makes it
into a remembrance film through various forms of reference. The
volume analyses film using the methodology of studies in cultural
memory to reveal the functioning of these constellations.
The volume presents theoretical frameworks, conceptual explications
and concrete research perspectives in the subject area of 'Media of
collective memory.' Representatives of various disciplines examine
the manifestations, social functions, cultural differences and the
historical development of the media of memory from the 17th century
to the present day.
This interdisciplinary series addresses the relation between media
and cultural memory. Its publications study how media construct,
store, and disseminate memory. The series' focus is on different
media and technologies, such as text and image, the cinema and the
new digital media, on transmediality, intermediality, and
remediation, as well as on the social (and increasingly
transnational and transcultural) contexts of mediated memory. The
aim of the series is to provide a vibrant international platform
for research and scholarly exchange in the field of media and
memory studies. Manuscripts submitted to the series are peer
reviewed by expert referees. The editors, Astrid Erll
(Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt am Main) and Ansgar Nunning
(Justus-Liebig-Universitat Giessen), are working with an
international editorial board of renowned scholars: Aleida Assmann
(Universitat Konstanz), Mieke Bal (University of Amsterdam), Vita
Fortunati (University of Bologna), Richard Grusin (University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Udo Hebel (Universitat Regensburg), Andrew
Hoskins (University of Glasgow), Wulf Kansteiner (Binghamton
University), Alison Landsberg (George Mason University), Claus

'Gedachtnis' und 'Erinnerung' sind Leitthemen in der Wissenschaft
und im gesellschaftlich-politischen Diskurs. - Dieser Band bundelt
die verschiedenen Theorien, Terminologien und Methoden aus der
Forschung zum individuellen und kollektiven Gedachtnis und geht
insbesondere den folgenden Fragen nach: Wie unterscheidet sich der
Gedachtnisbegriff in Geschichts- und Sozialwissenschaften,
Literaturwissenschaft und Psychologie? Auf welche Weise kann die
gedachtnisbildende Wirkung von Literatur und anderen Medien
beschrieben und analysiert werden? Welche Folgen hat die
'transkulturelle und transnationale Wende' in der
Gedachtnisforschung? - Ziel des Bandes ist es, das kaum mehr
uberschaubare Feld der interdisziplinaren und internationalen
Gedachtnisforschung zu kartieren und insbesondere kulturhistorisch
interessierten Literaturwissenschaftler/innen nutzliche
Analysekategorien zur Verfugung zu stellen. - Fur die dritte
Auflage wurde der Band uberarbeitet, erweitert und aktualisiert.
