TRANSNATIONAL MEMORY GEBUNDEN

How do memories circulate transnationally and to what effect? How to understand the enduring
role of national memories and their simultaneous reconfiguration under globalization?
Challenging the methodological nationalism that has until recently dominated the study of
memory and heritage  this book charts the rich production of memory across and beyond national
borders. Arguing for the fruitfulness of a transnational as distinct from a global approach  it
places the issues of circulation  articulation and the scales of remembrance at the centre of
its inquiry. In the process  it sheds new light on the ways in which mediation 
post-coloniality  migration and regional integration affect both the way we remember and the
role of memory in contemporary societies. In this interdisciplinary collection  humanities and
social science scholars examine a rich sample of cases from the nineteenth century on 
stretching across the globe from Vietnam to Europe and the Middle East  to the USA and the
Pacific  and involving a wide range of cultural practices from quilting to films  from
photography to heritage sites and monuments. In the process  the volume develops a new
theoretical framework while proposing new methodological tools and resources for studying
collective remembrance beyond the nation-state.
