Recenzje

A highly original intervention into trauma theory. Pinchevksi's deft and erudite analyses shine a light on how the digital is shaping memories of traumatic pasts in new ways. Tackling an exciting range of material from videography and testimony to the uses of virtual reality for therapy, this is an outstanding research book which every student of memory should read.
