Overview
Normal0falsefalsefalseMicrosoftInternetExplorer4
Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-USX-NONEX-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4The
transnational movement of people and ideas has led scholars
throughout the humanities to reconsider many core concepts. Among
them is the notion of public memory and how it changes when
collective memories are no longer grounded within the confines of
the traditional nation-state. An introduction by coeditors
Kendall Phillips and Mitchell Reyes provides a context for
examining the challenges of remembrance in a globalized world. In
their essay they posit the idea of the “global
memoryscape,” a sphere in which memories circulate among
increasingly complex and diffused networks of remembrance.
The essays contained within the volume--by scholars from a
wide range of disciplines including American studies, art
history, political science, psychology, and sociology--each
engage a particular instance of the practices of memory as they
are complicated by globalization.
Subjects include the place of nostalgia in post-Yugoslavia
Serbian national memory, Russian identity after the collapse of
the Soviet Union, political remembrance in South Africa’s
Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, the role of Chilean mass
media in forging national identity following the arrest of
Augusto Pinochet, American debates over memorializing Japanese
internment camps, and how the debate over the Iraq war is framed
by memories of opposition to the Vietnam War.
