Special issue of JEMMS on memory practices and schooling
01.01.2016

Edited by Felicitas Macgilchrist and Barbara Christophe, Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research and Alexandra Binnenkade, University of Basel.

This special issue of the *Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society* (JEMMS) explores memory practices and schooling.

Collective memory (or: cultural memory, social memory, connected memory, prosthetic memory, multidirectional memory, travelling memory, entangled memory) is a site of political contestation, subject formation, ideological struggle, knowledge production and community-building. The school can be perceived globally as a functionally relatively homogeneous space where formal and informal curricula guide what should be passed onto the young generation, and where teachers and students as members of distinct generations engage with textbooks and other materials as specific forms of memory texts. We invite papers which investigate how that which is "worth remembering" in a given context is reproduced, negotiated and/or interrupted in high-school teaching and related educational practices.

The special issue welcomes both essays and empirically grounded papers. We are particularly - but not exclusively - interested in the following:

- Practices of using educational media in classrooms, with a focus on memory
- Enacting collective memory in history education
- Enacting collective memory in non-history spaces in schools
- Students' perspectives on what counts as worth remembering
- Teachers' politics of positioning with regard to textbook memory
- Perspectives on how policy, programmatic and enacted curricula strengthen or interrupt one another in enacting memory
- Where and how fissures and breaches in hegemonic memory discourse become visible in classroom practice
- Ethnographic, discourse analytical, material-semiotic or practice theoretical approaches

Papers should be a maximum of 7000 words including references, and should adhere to the journal's style guidelines (http://journals.berghahnbooks.com/jemms/index.php?pg=notes).

Deadlines
27 January 2015:     Title and abstract (max 300 words)
15 April 2015:       Full paper (max 7000 words)
10 May 2015:         Feedback from special issue editors
30 June 2015:        Revised full paper due

The revised papers will then be sent to two peer reviewers. Publication for accepted papers is planned for autumn 2015/spring 2016.
