Astrid Erll: Travels in Time, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In Travels in Time, Astrid Erll addresses the question of how collective memory emerges through motion--the movements of people, media, forms, and practices. Grounded in literary, cultural, and media memory studies, the essays discuss the ways in which families and generations are shaped by the past; how media such as literature, film, and photography make and remake collective memory; or the cultural dimensions of trauma, flashbulb memories, or implicit memory. They also consider traveling memory through the repercussions of recent historical events and long-term mnemonic processes, ranging from Greek antiquity to British colonialism in India, and from the First and Second World Wars to 9 / 11 and Covid-19.
