Opis

In this book, the author provides a§comprehensive overview of the intense and sustained work on the relationship§between collective memory and history, retracing the royal roads pioneering§scholars have traveled in their research and writing on this topic: notably,§the politics of commemoration (purposes and practices of public remembrance);§the changing uses of memory worked by new technologies of communication (from§the threshold of literacy to the digital age); the immobilizing effects of§trauma upon memory (with particular attention to the remembered legacy of the§Holocaust). He follows with an analysis of the implications of this scholarship§for our thinking about history itself, with attention to such issues as the§mnemonics of historical time, and the encounter between representation and§experience in historical understanding. His book provides insight into the way§interest in the concept of memory - as opposed to long-standing alternatives,§such as myth, tradition, and heritage - has opened new vistas for scholarship§not only in cultural history but also in shared ventures in memory studies in§related fields in the humanities and social sciences.
