Memory is a fundamental aspect of being and becoming, intimately
entwined with space, time, place, landscape, emotion, imagination
and identity. Memory studies is a burgeoning field of enquiry
drawing from a range of social science, arts and humanities
disciplines including human geography, sociology, cultural studies,
media studies, heritage and museum studies, psychology and history.
This book is a critically theorised practical exposition of how
media and technology are used to make memories for museums,
archives, social movements and community projects, looking at
specific cases in the UK and Brazil where the authors have put
these theories into practice. The authors define the protocol they
present as social memory technology. Critically, this book is about
learning to deal with our pasts and learning new methods of
connecting our pasts across cultures toward a shared understanding
and application of memory technologies.
This collection shifts the focus from collective memory to
individual memory, by incorporating new performative approaches to
identity, place and becoming. Drawing upon cultural geography, the
book provides an accessible framework to approach key aspects of
memory, remembering, archives, commemoration and forgetting in
modern societies.

How do we rely on media for remembering? In exploring the complex
ways that media converge to support our desire to capture, store
and retrieve memories, this textbook offers analyses of
representations of memorable events, media tools for remembering
and forgetting, media technologies for archiving and the role of
media producers in making memories. Theories of memory and media
are covered alongside an accessible range of case studies focusing
on memory in relation to radio, television, pop music, celebrity,
digital media and mobile phones. Ethnographic and production
culture research, including interviews with members of the public
and industry professionals, is also included. Offering a
comprehensive introduction to the connections and disconnections in
the study of media and memory, this is the perfect textbook for
media studies students. Key Features * Presents a thorough and
detailed overview of key writers, theories and debates * Case
studies enrich the text, offering innovative approaches and
insights on methodology * Covers a range of 'old' and 'new' media
including: from radio, television, film, photography, digital
media, mobile phones and popular music * Explores discourses, forms
and practices of media and memory with active learning exercises

This original book asks how, in an age of convergence, when
'television' no longer means a box in the corner of the living room
that we sit and watch together, do we remember television of the
past? How do we gather and archive our memories? Kristyn Gordon and
Joanne Garde-Hansen explore these questions through first person
interviews with tv producers, curators and archivists, and case
studies of popular television series and fan communities such as
'Cold Feet' and 'Doctor Who'. Their discussion takes in museum
exhibitions, popular televison nostalgia programming and 'vintage'
tv websites.
As flooding, drought and water scarcity become more pronounced due
to climate change, so the way in which these events are presented
in the media assumes greater significance. In particular, the media
plays an important role in shaping the public perception and
understanding of water issues, and debates around extreme weather
events more generally. Joanne Garde-Hansen’s book offers a
sustained and comprehensive exploration of media representations of
water. Drawing on a wide range of media – including newspapers,
digital, photography, radio, television and video, as well as
empirical research on media and memory – she examines how
drought, flooding and water management have been portrayed in the
media, both historically and in the contemporary world. The use of
the media by water institutions to manage public perceptions and
the use of digital media by the public to engage with water
companies is also included. A particular feature of the book is an
examination of water and gender in developed nations. One of the
first books to look at media representations of water, this
pioneering work provides valuable insights for both scholarly and
professional water research.
