Reviews

Many of the essays in this collection are already classics. By bringing them together into a collection, while also updating them, Astrid Erll has provided a magisterial overview of the current field of memory studies that is set to become a standard work. Written in a lively and accessible way, it offers a thoroughly interdisciplinary perspective on collective memory which brilliantly integrates psychology, culture, and society. It should become the go-to place for anyone interested in the field of memory studies and in the work of one of its foremost theorists. * Ann Rigney, Utrecht University * This collection of essays compiled by a leading figure in the burgeoning field of Memory Studies offers an informative overview to both seasoned scholars of Memory Studies and those new to the field. Examining such central ideas as traveling memory, pre- and re-mediation, implicit collective memory, and generational aspects of collective memory, it is a must read for anyone who wants to understand how collective memory functions in the real world and is integrally connected to mediation. * William Hirst, Malcolm B. Smith Professor, Department of Psychology, New School for Social Research *
