This volume adopts a practical approach to cultural transfer and exchange through the concept of "memory box." Ideas of displacement, transfer, and cultural memory are explored through case studies in Scotland, Italy, and Germany, from Finland and France to the American colonies. The volume's contributors develop an understanding of memory boxes as cultural constructions involved in the process of making and disputing memory--yet that, simultaneously, are important agents for cultural transfer over space and time. The book emphasizes memory box as an idea that allows us to study the cultural processes of transfer in conjunction with cultural memory.
