Reviews"Memory Unbound is exemplary of the research and writing of the 'third wave' of memory studies. It heralds a new departure in keeping with the transforming effects of new technologies of communication, and conveys the energy and excitement attending the precipitous emergence and rapid development of this new realm of scholarship." · Patrick Hutton, University of Vermont "This is a great book--provocative, timely, and thoughtful. It proposes a future for memory research that finds a place for new investigators to embed their ideas." · Joanne Garde-Hansen, University of Warwick, "Memory Unbound is exemplary of the research and writing of the 'third wave' of memory studies.

SynopsisStudies memory as complex social, cultural, and medial processes. The first book to explore the transcultural, transgenerational, transmedial, and transdisciplinary dimensions of memory in an integrated way . Places leading researchers in conversation with emerging voices to reshape the study of memory processes. Systematically studies the role of new media in shaping the transcultural and transgenerational mobility of memory., Though still a relatively young field, memory studies has undergone significant transformations since it first coalesced as an area of inquiry. Increasingly, scholars understand memory to be a fluid, dynamic, unbound phenomenon--a process rather than a reified object. Embodying just such an elastic approach, this state-of-the-field collection systematically explores the transcultural, transgenerational, transmedial, and transdisciplinary dimensions of memory--four key dynamics that have sometimes been studied in isolation but never in such an integrated manner. Memory Unbound places leading researchers in conversation with emerging voices in the field to recast our understanding of memory's distinctive variability., Though still a relatively young field, memory studies has undergone significant transformations since it first coalesced as an area of inquiry.
