Books, Memory, November 11, 2018, is the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, a time of remembering and memorial, of linking past events to the world we live in today. Taking this particular moment as a catalyst, this book examines the character and relevance of memory more broadly. The essays ask readers to think creatively and deeply about notions of memory – its composition and practices – and the ways that memory is transmitted, recorded, and distorted through time and space. Memory navigates a broad terrain, with essays drawn from a diverse group of international public intellectuals. The contributors capture different angles and perspectives on the idea of memory across a wide range of subject areas. Some essays touch on the practices of remembrance of war; others explore the salience of memory to topics that span molecular genetics, astrophysics, Indigenous oral histories, cognitive science, law, architecture, engineering, psychology, and the natural world.This book challenges readers to think critically about memory. Reflecting upon memory in diverse, and often unexpected, ways, this collection offers an interdisciplinary and creative roadmap for exploring the complexity of memory.
