The impact of digital global media geopolitical changes and migration demands new
theorizations within memory studies. Despite the growing field of media memory studies the
impact from film and media studies has been scarce within memory studies. This unique study
offers new theorizations of three crucial concepts for media memory studies: remediation
transculturality and the archive. This book takes a closer look at the media specificity of
archival footage and how it is adapted translated and appropriated. In its original approach
this work reflects upon the role of documentary film images for the construction of memory. By
merging film and media studies with memory studies the work offers multiple theoretical and
methodological approaches for everyone interested in the heritage of audiovisual media: film
and media scholars memory scholars historians art historians social scientists librarians
or archivists curators and festival programmers alike.
