{"product_id":"memory-conflict-and-new-media","title":"Memory, Conflict and New Media","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the online memory wars in post-Soviet states – where political conflicts take the shape of heated debates about the recent past, and especially World War II and Soviet socialism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo this day, former socialist states face the challenge of constructing national identities, producing national memories, and relating to the Soviet legacy. Their pasts are principally intertwined: changing readings of history in one country generate fierce reactions in others. In this transnational memory war, digital media form a pivotal discursive space – one that provides speakers with radically new commemorative tools. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniting contributions by leading scholars in the field,\u003ci\u003e Memory, Conflict and New Media\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book-length publication to analyse how new media serve as a site of political and national identity building in post-socialist states. The book also examines how the construction of online identity is irreversibly affected by thinking about the past in this geopolitical domain. By highlighting post-socialist memory’s digital mediations \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e digital memory’s transcultural scope, the volume succeeds in a twofold aim: to deepen and refine both (post-socialist) memory theory and digital-memory studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of media studies, post-Soviet studies, Eastern European Politics, memory studies and International Relations in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246250217816,"sku":"9781138847613","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138847613.jpg?v=1769085021","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/memory-conflict-and-new-media","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
