Summary:
This book explores the interdisciplinary field of memory studies, focusing on the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological contributions of Ann Rigney. It examines the dynamics of cultural memory, emphasizing the interplay between remembering and forgetting, mediation, and the mobilization of memory through literature, media, and the arts. The book highlights Rigney's concept of 'the agency of the aesthetic,' which underscores the role of cultural forms in shaping collective memory and experience. With contributions from over fifty scholars, it addresses topics such as narrative memory, postmemory, transnational memory, and the materiality of memory, offering insights into the historical, political, and cultural dimensions of memory. Intended for scholars and students in the humanities and social sciences, this work provides a comprehensive analysis of how memory is constructed, transmitted, and remediated across multiple platforms and disciplines.
