Critical Memory Studies

Critical Memory Studies ranges across diverse cultures of memory and histories of remembrance while simultaneously synthesising and disrupting the legacies of cultural memory studies with fresh interventions from newer interdisciplinary areas of study. These includes studies of gender, queer LGBTQIA+ issues, race, indigeneity, disability, social movements, animals and posthumanism, and environmental and digital humanities. This exciting new series explores how cultures of memory are shaped by the legacies of colonisation and decolonisation; the remembrance of nonhuman actants and agencies in event-formation; the recalibration, beyond human-centred perspectives, of the temporal and spatial scales by which event-formation can be measured; the socioecological effects of climate change; and new digital technologies and their mediations of memory. This dynamic series ensures the field’s immersion in lived experiences across social, cultural, political, economic and geographical contexts and its agile responsiveness to challenging real-world scenarios.
