New book: Memory in a Mediated World

Colleagues might be interested in the recently published collection on 
"Memory in a Mediated World: Remembrance and Reconstruction“ as part of 
the Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies Series


The blurb
Considering both retrospective memories and the prospective employment 
of memories, Memory in a Mediated World examines troubled times that 
demand resolution, recovery and restoration. Its contributions provide 
empirically grounded analyses of how media are employed by individuals 
and social groups to connect the past, the present and the future.

Endorsements:

“Memory in a Mediated World makes a positive and new contribution to the 
field of memory studies, offering readers original and compelling 
insights into the ways in which digital media especially shapes cultures 
of remembrance in troubled times. By bringing together work from memory 
studies’ emergent strand on cultural memories of activism, alongside 
media memories of conflict and catastrophe, it pushes the 21st century 
Mnemologist and others studying memory to rethink the methods and roots 
of analysing media memory.”
Anna Reading, King’s College, University of London, UK

“This books brings together a diverse group of scholars who consider the 
roles played by collective memory in affecting the unsettled 
circumstances that follow upon natural disaster, war, uprising and other 
kinds of crisis. Memory, for these authors, holds enormous productive 
potential, a potential unpacked here in great           detail. A highly 
useful intervention on an aspect of memory studies that has not been 
sufficiently examined to date”
Barbie Zelizer, Annenberg School of Communication, University of 
Pennsylvania, USA
