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 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

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

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

Dimensions of Heritage and Memory Multiple Europes and the Politics of Crisis

Dimensions of Heritage and Memory is a landmark contribution on the politics of the past in Europe today. The book explores the meanings of heritage in a time of crisis when the past permeates social and political divisions identity contests and official projects to forge a European community. Providing an overview of the literature and an analysis of the assumptions values and philosophies embedded within European-level policy the book explores different dimensions of heritage and memory from official sites museums and policy to party politics historical re-enactments and the everyday ways in which people use the past to make sense of who they are. The volume explores how different understandings of and attachments to the European past produce different ‘Europes’ in the present accounting for today’s tense social and political relations. The book also explores formative histories for European identities that are neglected or hidden because of political circumstances and non-official heritage. Contributors consider the meanings of interlocking crises such as economic fallout xenophobia and the fragmentation of the EU for new understandings of Europe’s past in the present. Dimensions of Heritage and Memory will be of great interest to researchers academics and postgraduate students in the fields of heritage and memory studies museum studies history cultural studies sociology anthropology and politics.

Materializing Memory in Art and Popular Culture

Materializing Memory in Art and Popular Culture

Memory matters. It matters because memory brings the past into the present and opens it up to the future. But it also matters literally because memory is mediated materially. Materiality is the stuff of memory. Meaningful objects that we love (or hate) function not only as aide-mémoire but are integral to memory. Drawing on previous scholarship on the interrelation of memory and materiality this book applies recent theories of new materialism to explore the material dimension of memory in art and popular culture. The book’s underlying premise is twofold: on the one hand memory is performed mediated and stored through the material world that surrounds us; on the other hand inanimate objects and things also have agency on their own which affects practices of memory as well as forgetting.

Cultural Memory From the Sciences to the Humanities

Cultural Memory From the Sciences to the Humanities

Bringing together neuroscientists social scientists and humanities scholars in cross-disciplinary exploration of the topic of cultural memory this collection moves from seminal discussions of the latest findings in neuroscience to variegated specific case studies of social practices and artistic expressions. This volume highlights what can be gained from drawing on broad interdisciplinary contexts in pursuing scholarly projects involving cultural memory and associated topics. The collection argues that contemporary evolutionary science in conjunction with studies interconnecting cognition affect and emotion as well as research on socially mediated memory provides innovatively interdisciplinary contexts for viewing current work on how cultural and social environments influence gene expression and neural circuitry. Building on this foundation Cultural Memory turns to the exploration of the psychological processes and social contexts through which cultural memory is shaped circulated revised and contested. It investigates how various modes of cultural expression—architecture cuisine poetry film and fiction—reconfigure shared conceptualizing patterns and affectively mediated articulations of identity and value. Each chapter showcases research from a wide range of fields and presents diverse interdisciplinary contexts for future scholarship. As cultural memory is a subject that invites interdisciplinary perspectives and is relevant to studying cultures around the world of every era this collection addresses an international readership comprising scholars from the humanities social sciences and natural sciences from advanced undergraduates to senior researchers. | Cultural Memory From the Sciences to the Humanities

European Memory in Populism Representations of Self and Other

European Memory in Populism Representations of Self and Other

European Memory in Populism explores the links between memory and populism in contemporary Europe. Focusing on circulating ideas of memory especially European memory in contemporary populist discourses the book also analyses populist ideas in sites and practices of remembrance that usually tend to go unnoticed. More broadly the theoretical heart of the book reflects upon the similarities differences and slippages between memory populism nationalism and cultural racism and the ways in which social memory contributes to give substance to various ideas of what constitutes the ‘people’ in populist discourse and beyond. Bringing together a group of political scientists anthropologists and cultural and memory studies scholars the book illuminates the relationship between memory and populism from different angles and in different contexts. The contributors to the volume discuss dominant notions of European heritage that circulate in the public sphere and in political discourse and consider how the politics of fear relates to such notions of European heritage and identity across and beyond Europe and the European Union. Ultimately this volume will shed light on how notions of a shared European heritage and memory can be used not only to include and connect Europeans but also to exclude some of them. Investigating the ways in which nationalist populist forces mobilize the idea of a shared homogeneous European civilization European Memory in Populism will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of European studies heritage and memory studies migration studies anthropology political science and sociology.
