Doing Memory Research

New Methods and Approaches

Palgrave Macmillan
  • Showcases the diverse ways of doing memory work, including via different media, and engagement with memory’s performativity, its affect, its visuality and its sounds
  • Offers a range of interpretative approaches that are attentive to uncovering and explicating the politics of memory and how memory links present day communities and places to the past, as well as proffering answers to why these links may exist
  • Illustrates how the diversity of disciplinary perspectives coalesce around a growing engagement with non-representational, more-than-human and digital approaches in their methodological remit
  • Fills an existing gap by offering a comprehensive and collective approach to memory research with a methodological focus
  • Responds to a growing interest in the nexus between geography and memory

About this book

Memory studies is a nascent and multidisciplinary research field, drawing from an impressive array of qualitative investigative methods deployed to do memory research. The authors in this collection offer an explicit engagement with the ‘doing’ of memory research. The contributions demonstrate how attention to methodology reveals rich insights about memory and its links to place and identity.

Reviews

“No topic is more important for a consolidating field like memory studies than methodology. How was the work that established the field done? What approaches will advance us into its next stage of growth? This important volume, and the essays that comprise it, are exceptionally helpful, and will underwrite the next stage of research in this increasingly important field. An essential contribution!” (Jeffrey K. Olick, Professor of Sociology and History, University of Virginia, USA, and co-president of the Memory Studies Association)
