The Retornados from the Portuguese Colonies in Africa Memory Narrative and History

The Retornados from the Portuguese Colonies in Africa Memory Narrative and History

Placed in the wider scope of post-war European decolonisation migrations The Retornados from the Portuguese Colonies in Africa looks at the Return of the Portuguese nationals living in the African colonies when they became independent. Using an interdisciplinary research agenda the book presents a collection of research essays written by experts in the fields of anthropology history literature and the arts that look at a wide range of memory narratives through which the Return—as well as the experiences of war violence loss and trauma—have been expressed contested and internalised in the social realm. These narratives include testimonial accounts from the so-called retornados from Africa and their descendants as well as works of fiction and public memory—novels television series artworks films or social media—that have come to mediate the public understanding of this past. Through the dialogue between these different narrative modes this book intends to explore the interplay between official memory the lived experience and fiction thus contributing to build an empirical basis to critically discuss the memory of the end of the Portuguese empire within postcolonial Europe. This book will be of great interest to postgraduates researchers and academics most notably the ones working in the fields of postcolonial studies cultural studies and memory studies. | The Retornados from the Portuguese Colonies in Africa Memory Narrative and History

Memory Politics in Contemporary Russia Television Cinema and the State

Memory Politics in Contemporary Russia Television Cinema and the State

This book examines the societal dynamics of memory politics in Russia. Since Vladimir Putin became president the Russian central government has increasingly actively employed cultural memory to claim political legitimacy and discredit all forms of political opposition. The rhetorical use of the past has become a defining characteristic of Russian politics creating a historical foundation for the regime’s emphasis on a strong state and centralised leadership. Exploring memory politics this book analyses a wide range of actors from the central government and the Russian Orthodox Church to filmmaker and cultural heavyweight Nikita Mikhalkov and radical thinkers such as Aleksandr Dugin. In addition in view of the steady decline in media freedom since 2000 it critically examines the role of cinema and television in shaping and spreading these narratives. Thus this book aims to gain a better understanding of the various means through which the Russian government practices its memory politics (e. g. the role of state media) and on the other hand to sufficiently value the existence of alternative and critical voices and criticism that existing studies tend to overlook. Contributing to current debates in the field of memory studies and of current affairs in Russia and Eastern Europe this book will be of interest to scholars working in the fields of Russian Studies Cultural Memory Studies Nationalism and National Identity Political Communication Film Television and Media Studies. | Memory Politics in Contemporary Russia Television Cinema and the State

The Wechsler Memory Scale A Guide for Clinicians and Researchers

Excavating the Power of Memory in Japan

Excavating the Power of Memory in Japan

Excavating the power of memory offers a succinct examination of how memory is constructed embedded and disseminated in contemporary Japanese society. The unique range and perspective of this collection will provide an understanding not found elsewhere. It starts with a lucid introduction of how memory plays a political and wider social role in Japan. Four case studies follow. The first takes up the divergence in memory at the national and subnational levels by analysing the memory of the battle of Okinawa and US military accidents in Okinawa prefecture illuminating how memory in the prefecture embeds Okinawans as victims of mainland Japan and of the United States. The second explores whether Japan’s membership of the International Criminal Court represents a shift in the Japanese government’s negative remembrance of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East demonstrating how both courts are largely portrayed as being disconnected in political debates. The third offers an analysis of the surviving letters of the Kamikaze pilots in order to interrogate and compare their presumed identity in the dominant collective memory and their own self-identities. The fourth untangles how the ‘memory of winds’ in Japanese fishing communities remains an expression of social thought that presides over the ‘transmission of meaning’ about fishermen's geographical surroundings. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Japan Forum. | Excavating the Power of Memory in Japan

Memory Fragmentation from Below and Beyond the State Uses of the Past in Conflict and Post-conflict Settings

Memory Fragmentation from Below and Beyond the State Uses of the Past in Conflict and Post-conflict Settings

This volume suggests a model of collective memory that distinguishes between two conceptual logics of memory fragmentation: vertical fragmentation and horizontal fragmentation. It offers a series of case studies of conflict and post-conflict collective memory shedding light on the ways various actors participate in the production dissemination and contestation of memory discourses. With attention to the characteristics of both vertical and horizontal memory fragmentation the book addresses the plurality of diverging and often conflicting memory discourses that are produced within the public sphere of a given community. It analyzes the juxtaposition tensions and interactions between narratives produced beyond or below the central state often transcending national boundaries. The book is structured according to the type of actors involved in a memory fragmentation process. It explores how states have been trying to produce and impose memory discourses on civil societies sometimes even against the experiences of their own citizens and how such efforts as well as backlash from actors below and beyond the state have led to horizontal and vertical memory fragmentation. Furthermore it considers the attempts by states’ representatives to reassert control of national memory discourses and the subsequent resistances they face. As such this volume will appeal to sociology and political science scholars interested in memory studies in post-conflict societies. | Memory Fragmentation from Below and Beyond the State Uses of the Past in Conflict and Post-conflict Settings

The Slave Ship Memory and the Origin of Modernity

The “Socialist Transformation” of Memory Reversing Chinese History through “Pernicious-Vestiges” Media Discourse

The “Socialist Transformation” of Memory Reversing Chinese History through “Pernicious-Vestiges” Media Discourse

Through discourse analysis and a historical comparison of “Pernicious-Vestiges” narratives in the news text of People’s Daily this book is devoted to revealing primary metaphors of “Pernicious-Vestiges” and political functions in China. “Pernicious-Vestiges” (Yí Dú 遗毒) is one of the most frequently used words in contemporary Chinese historical narration as well as a constantly changing rhetorical direction in New China’s media discourse whose function is to remold memory. Over the past 76 years the “Pernicious-Vestiges” narrative continuously constructed by People’s Daily the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party have reflected the views of China’s political elite and represented the ruling party’s evaluation and reevaluation of historical events. The findings of this book challenge the myth that memory is naturally superior to forgetting reflect on the ethics of memory in “Pernicious-Vestiges” narratives and the erasure of their own justice and suggest that the critical space compressed by “Pernicious-Vestiges” narratives should be returned to restore the order of memory and historical reflection. This book will be an excellent read for students and scholars of Chinese studies media studies and those who are interested in political communication and collective memory in general. | The “Socialist Transformation” of Memory Reversing Chinese History through “Pernicious-Vestiges” Media Discourse
