Summary:
"November 11, 2018, is the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, a time of remembering and memorial, of linking past events to the world we live in today. Taking this particular moment as a catalyst, this book examines the character and relevance of
memory
more broadly. The essays in this collection ask readers to think creatively and deeply about notions of
memory
– its composition and practices – and the ways that
memory
is transmitted, recorded, and distorted through time and space.
Memory
navigates a broad terrain, with essays drawn from a diverse group of contributors who capture different perspectives on the idea of
memory
in fields ranging from molecular genetics, astrophysics and engineering, to law, Indigenous oral histories, and the natural world. This book challenges readers to think critically about
memory
, offering an engaging and interdisciplinary roadmap for exploring how, why, and when we remember."--Chapters/Indigo.
