Travels in Time: Essays on Collective Memory in Motion: Studies in Collective Memory

Autor Astrid Erll
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mai 2025
Human beings are time travelers. Incessantly, we traverse past, present, and future through a process called collective memory. In Travels in Time, Astrid Erll addresses the question of how collective memory emerges through motion--the movements of people, media, forms, and practices. Grounded in literary, cultural, and media memory studies, this collection of essays undertakes forays into various dimensions of collective memory as traveling memory. It discusses the ways in which families and generations shape and are shaped by the past; how media such as literature, film, and photography make and remake collective memory; or how trauma, flashbulb memories, and implicit memory are interwoven with culture. The essays consider repercussions of recent historical events as well as long-term mnemonic processes, ranging from Greek antiquity to British colonialism in India, and from the First and Second World Wars to migration in Europe, 9/11, and the coronavirus pandemic. Developing a broad perspective on collective memory, this book outlines the horizons of interdisciplinary memory research.

Recenzii

Many of the essays in this collection are already classics. By bringing them together into a collection, while also updating them, Astrid Erll has provided a magisterial overview of the current field of memory studies that is set to become a standard work. Written in a lively and accessible way, it offers a thoroughly interdisciplinary perspective on collective memory which brilliantly integrates psychology, culture, and society. It should become the go-to place for anyone interested in the field of memory studies and in the work of one of its foremost theorists.
This collection of essays compiled by a leading figure in the burgeoning field of Memory Studies offers an informative overview to both seasoned scholars of Memory Studies and those new to the field. Examining such central ideas as traveling memory, pre- and re-mediation, implicit collective memory, and generational aspects of collective memory, it is a must read for anyone who wants to understand how collective memory functions in the real world and is integrally connected to mediation.
