The Printer as Author in Early Modern English Book History John Day and the Fabrication of a Protestant Memory Art

The Printer as Author in Early Modern English Book History John Day and the Fabrication of a Protestant Memory Art

This is the first book to demonstrate how mnemotechnic cultural commonplaces can be used to account for the look style and authorized content of some of the most influential books produced in early modern Britain. In his hybrid role as stationer publisher entrepreneur and author John Day master printer of England’s Reformation produced the premier navigation handbook state-approved catechism and metrical psalms Book of Martyrs England’s first printed emblem book and Queen Elizabeth’s Prayer Book. By virtue of finely honed book trade skills dogged commitment to evangelical nation-building and astute business acumen (including going after those who infringed his privileges) Day mobilized the typographical imaginary to establish what amounts to—and still remains—a potent and viable Protestant Memory Art. | The Printer as Author in Early Modern English Book History John Day and the Fabrication of a Protestant Memory Art

Visualising Place Memory and the Imagined

Visualising Place Memory and the Imagined

This book probes into how communities and social groups construct their understanding of the world through real and imagined experiences of place. The book seeks to connect the dots of the factual and the imaginary that formaffective networks of identities which help shape local memory and sense of self and community as well as a sense of the past. It exploits the concept of make-believe spaces – in the environment storytelling and mnemonic narratives – as a social framework that aligns and informs the everyday memory worlds of communities. Drawing upon fieldwork in cultural heritage community archaeology social history and conflict history and anthropology this text offers a methodological framework within which social groups may position and enact the multiple senses of place and senses of the past inhabited and performed in different cultural contexts. This book serves to illustrate a useful visualisation methodology which can be used in participatory fieldwork and thus will be of interest to heritage specialists ethnographers and cultural geographers and oral history practitioners who will particularly find the methodology cheap easy to replicate and enjoyable for community-based projects. | Visualising Place Memory and the Imagined

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

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

Tourism and Memory Visitor Experiences of the Nazi and GDR Past

Tourism and Memory Visitor Experiences of the Nazi and GDR Past

This book considers tourism to memorial sites from a visitor’s point of view challenging established theories in tourism and memory studies by critically appraising Germany’s often celebrated memory culture. Based on visitor observations and exit interviews this book examines how domestic and international visitors negotiate their visits to the concentration camp memorials Ravensbrück and Flossenbürg the House of the Wannsee Conference and the former Stasi prison Bautzen II. It argues that memorial sites are melting pots where family national and global narratives meet. For German visitors the visit to memorial sites is a confrontation with Germany's responsibility for the two dictatorships while for international visitors it can be a form of 'seeing is believing'. Ultimately it is the immediacy of the space that is the most important part of the visit. Rooted in an interdisciplinary approach this book will be of interest to academics and students in German Studies Tourism and Heritage Studies Museum Studies Public History and Memory Studies. | Tourism and Memory Visitor Experiences of the Nazi and GDR Past

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 Slave Ship Memory and the Origin of Modernity

Traces; slave names the islands and cities into which we are born our musics and rhythms our genetic compositions our stories of our lost utopias and the atrocities inflicted upon our ancestors by our ancestors the social structure of our cities the nature of our diasporas the scars inflicted by history. These are all the remnants of the middle passage of the slave ship for those in the multiple diasporas of the globe today whose complex histories were shaped by that journey. Whatever remnants that once existed in the subjectivities and collectivities upon which slavery was inflicted has long passed. But there are hints in material culture genetic and cultural transmissions and objects that shape certain kinds of narratives - this is how we know ourselves and how we tell our stories. This path-breaking book uncovers the significance of the memory of the slave ship for modernity as well as its role in the cultural production of modernity. By so doing it examines methods of ethnography for historical events and experiences and offers a sociology and a history from below of the slave experience. The arguments in this book show the way for using memory studies to undermine contemporary slavery. | 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

Working Memory and Language in the Modular Mind

Working Memory and Language in the Modular Mind

The book explores two fundamental aspects of the human mind and their relation to one another. The first is the way that information is put to use in the mind. When we are doing a mental arithmetic problem for example how do we bring the relevant bits of information to mind and hold them there while carrying out the series of calculations? This is working memory the subject of an enormous research literature in psychology neuroscience and a great many other disciplines. Characterizing the working memory process is now a major part of efforts to understand the human mind. How we characterize this process depends of course on how we characterize the human mind as a whole. In particular is the mind made up of a number of distinct units each carrying out a specialized function? There is considerable reason to say that it is and this modular view of the mind has become prominent in a great deal of academic work notably in cognitive neuroscience with important implications for our understanding of how working memory works. But these implications have received surprisingly little consideration to this point. The aim of the book is to explore this relation between working memory and modularity first in general terms and then using a specific modular view of the mind – the Modular Cognition Framework. The ideas are illustrated and further developed through an application to language and especially second language acquisition and use. | Working Memory and Language in the Modular Mind

Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

This book clarifies and verifies the role sport has as an alternative marker in understanding and mapping memory in Japan by applying the concept of lieux de mémoire (realms of memory) to sport in Japan. Japanese history and national construction have not been short of sports landmarks since the end of the nineteenth century. Western-style sports were introduced into Japan in order to modernize the country and develop a culture of consciousness about bodies resembling that of the Western world. Japan’s modernization has been a process of embracing Western thought and culture while at the same time attempting to establish what distinguishes Japan from the West. In this context sports functioned as sites of contested identities and memories. The Olympics baseball and soccer have produced memories in Japan but so too have martial arts which by their very name signify an attempt to create traditions beyond Western sports. Because modern sports form bodies of modern citizens and at the same time offer countless opportunities for competition with other nations they provide an excellent ground for testing and contesting national identifications. By revealing some of the key realms of memory in the Japanese field of sports this book shows how memories and counter-memories of (sport) moments places and heroes constitute an inventory for identity. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society. | Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

Thailand a long-standing defence partner of the United States and ASEAN’s second largest economy occupies a geostrategically important position as a land bridge between China and maritime Southeast Asia. This book based on extensive original research explores the current state of US-Thai relations paying particular attention to how the United States is perceived by a wide range of people in the Thai defence establishment and highlighting the importance of historical memory. The book outlines how the US-Thai relationship has been complicated and at times turbulent discusses how Thailand is deeply embedded in multi-faceted relationships with many Asian states not just China and examines how far the United States is blind to the complexities of Asian international relations by focusing too much on China. The book concludes by assessing how US-Thai relations are likely to develop going forward. Additionally the work contributes to alliance theory by showing how domestic politics shapes memory which in turn affects perceptions of other states. | The US-Thai Alliance and Asian International Relations History Memory and Current Developments
