This collected volume is the first to study the interface between
contemporary social movements, cultural memory and digital media.
Establishing the digital memory work practices of social movements
as an important area of research, it reveals how activists use
digital media to lay claim to, circulate and curate cultural
memories. Interdisciplinary in scope, its contributors address
mobilizations of mediated remembrance in the USA, Germany, Sweden,
Italy, India, Argentina, the UK and Russia.

This book shows how the mnemonic imagination creatively uses the
resources of photography and music in the registering and
management of change. Looking in particular at major transitions
and turning points, it covers key issues of identity for the
remembering subject and key scales of remembering in vernacular
milieus. The book explores the connections of memory and
remembering with transformations in intimate relationships,
migration and spatial mobilities, loss and bereavement involving
loved ones or those with whom close affinities are felt, resulting
in a volume that helps fill the gap in memory studies caused by
lack of sustained ethnographic work. Drawing on extensive fieldwork
on the processes and practices of remembering in everyday life, it
demonstrates how the mnemonic imagination is central to the
management of change and transition, and how its cross-temporal
interanimations of past, present and future are fostered and
facilitated by the visual and sonic resources of photography and
recorded music.

This book explores how photography and recorded music act as
vehicles or catalysts in processes of remembering, and how they are
regarded, treated, valued and drawn upon as resources connecting
past and present in everyday life. It does so via two key concepts:
vernacular memory and the mnemonic imagination.
This is the first practical guide to research methods in memory
studies. The 12 chapters provide students and researchers with
clear descriptions of particular methods of research for:
investigating community remembering and memory in personal
narratives; exploring national memory and commemoration, and
cultural memory and heritage; attending to disrupted memory;
examining how memory is communicated in everyday life, and how it
is manifested in emergent and resurgent ethnicities; focusing on
the production of social memory in the media; and analysing the
dynamics of remembering in public apologies, and in testimonies
offered by Holocaust survivors. It provides expert appraisals of a
range of techniques and approaches in memory studies. It focuses on
methods and methodology as a way to help bring unity and coherence
to this new field of study.
