Memory Studies in the Digital Age (Paperback)

This interdisciplinary volume attempts to gauge the individual and social issues related to memory, with an understanding of memory studies as an independent body of scholarship. It draws on multiple fields of knowledge, like popular culture, history, literature, oral cultures, and storytelling, which facilitates a panoramic view of memory studies.

This book investigates the intersection between memory studies, partition, oral literature, and digital technology. It is also informed by the consciousness of memory in the digital age, which plays an integral role in what is remembered/forgotten, the form in which such memories are stored, and how they might be retrieved in future.

This book will be an invaluable resource for those involved in research from undergraduate to post-doctoral level. This includes sociologists, psychologists, historians, artists, academicians, as well as research scholars from other disciplines.
