| Summary: | This collection of essays asks readers to think critically, creatively, and broadly about how, why, and when we remember, at a time when the idea of memory - through the commemoration of the First World War - is at the forefront of public discourse "This book examines the character and relevance of remembrance, inviting readers to think creatively and deeply about the ways that memories are transmitted, recorded, and distorted through time and space. Ranging from molecular genetics and astrophysics to law and Indigenous oral histories, the essays draw from a diverse group of contributors to capture different perspectives on memory. Reflecting upon memory in engaging and unexpected ways, this collection offers an interdisciplinary roadmap for exploring how, why, and when we remember."-- |
