In the past decade, the field of memory has been dramatically
reconfigured. Global conditions have powerfully impacted on memory
debates, and at the same time, claims to memory are negotiated
globally. This is a fundamental shift, as until recently, the
dynamics of memory production unfolded primarily within the bounds
of the nation-state; coming to terms with the past was largely a
national project. Under the impact of processes of globalization,
this has changed fundamentally. Today it has become impossible to
understand the trajectories of memory outside a global frame of
reference. This book offers an innovative inroad into the various
problematics of memory in a global age. It presents analytical
categories to chart the terrain, and it supplies richly documented
case studies that illustrate the complexities of contemporary ways
of appropriating the past. Written from different cultural
positions and from different disciplinary backgrounds, the
collection of essays emphasizes the positionality of memory
production as it is negotiated locally and globally.
A significant contribution to memory studies and part of an
emergent strand of work on global memory. This book offers
important insights on topics relating to memory, globalization,
international politics, international relations, Holocaust studies
and media and communication studies.
