Reviews
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
