This book investigates the transnational dimensions of European
cultural memory and how it contributes to the construction of new
non-, supra, and post-national, but also national, memory
narratives. The volume considers how these narratives circulate not
only within Europe, but also through global interactions with other
locations. The Changing Place of Europe in Global Memory Cultures
responds to recent academic calls to break with methodological
nationalism in memory studies. Taking European memory as a case
study, the book offers new empirical and theoretical insights into
the transnational dimensions of cultural memory, without losing
sight of the continued relevance of the nation. The articles
critically examine the ways in which various individuals,
organizations, institutions, and works of art are mobilizing
future-oriented memories of Europe to construct new memory
narratives. Taking into account the heterogeneity and transnational
locations of commemorative groups, the multidirectionality of acts
of remembrance, and a variety of commemorative media such as
museums, film, photography, and literature, the volume not only
investigates how memory discourses circulate within Europe, but
also how they are being transferred, translated, or transformed
through global interactions beyond the European continent.
