- Summary:
- What do dominant approaches to memory studies overlook when they treat religion as marginal or obsolete? Towards Postsecular Memory Studies addresses this gap through ethnographic research, archival sources, and discourse analysis. Focusing on Central and Eastern Europe, and analysing how churches become museums, national heroes turn into saints, and mourning takes ritual form, the contributors reveal memory as a field wherein the religious and the secular are inseparable—sometimes cooperating, sometimes clashing, always shaping one another. The volume advances a postsecular approach to memory studies, showing how it opens new analytical paths for understanding why religion still matters in processes of remembrance.
