Reviews"The volume provides a comprehensive examination of the field of memory studies, from a range of disciplines and approaches using global case studies. The dynamic compilation of essays is attentive to shifts in the field towards interdisciplinarity and provides a nuanced account of the dynamics of memory across various contexts...This volume of essays is a significant contribution to the field as it provides a critical understanding of memory across media and disciplines, and will be of interest to a wide range of scholars working in the field of memory studies." * Memory Studies "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.

SynopsisThough 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.
