Opis

Communicating Memory & History asks how the interdisciplinary field of memory studies can be productively expanded through the work of communication historians, employing methods ranging from textual analysis to reception studies to prompt larger questions about how the past can be alternately understood, contested, and circulated.

Recenzje

"This collection of essays is essential reading for those interested in communication, memory, and history. Bringing together an impressive list of international authors from all ranks of academic life, Communicating Memory & History provides fresh takes on issues related to time and space, narrative construction, materiality/embodiment, and audience reception. The editors convincingly argue that we need to become much better at uncovering the historical roots of our contemporary mediated social lives, since all social questions, deep at heart, are historical." -Julia Sonnevend, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Communications at the New School for Social Research
