Beskrivning
Digital media, networks and archives reimagine and revitalize individual, social and cultural memory but they also ensnare it, bringing it under new forms of control. Understanding these paradoxical conditions of remembering and forgetting through today’s technologies needs bold interdisciplinary interventions.Digital Memory Studies seizes this challenge and pioneers an agenda that interrogates concepts, theories and histories of media and memory studies, to map a holistic vision for the study of the digital remaking of memory. Through the lenses of connectivity, archaeology, economy, and archive, contributors illuminate the uses and abuses of the digital past via an array of media and topics, including television, videogames and social media, and memory institutions, network politics and the digital afterlife.

"Memory used to be a thing of the past. This superb volume explores the centrality of connective memory for understanding the ontological and phenomenological shifts core to our time. The individual essays sparkle with wit and insight; and the whole invites us to rethink the nature of our digital lives." –Geoffrey C. Bowker, University of California, Irvine, USA"This is the long-awaited definitive assessment of how digital media have reconfigured individual, social and cultural memory. Written by an impressive cast of internationally renowned experts in the fields of media and memory studies, the essays in this collection define the ‘ontological shift in what memory is and what memory does’ that has resulted from the ‘new media ecologies.’ The volume’s four perspectives on key issues of digital memory – connectivity, archaeology, economy and archive – offer ample inspiration for further research. This is a field-defining book: digital memory studies is here to stay."-Astrid Erll, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany
