Description

The Routledge Companion to Media and Memory is an essential guide to one of the most dynamic and influential areas of contemporary scholarship. Bringing together leading international experts from across the arts, humanities and social sciences, it maps the evolving relationship between media forms, practices, technologies and ethics, to explore how individuals, communities, states and corporations make claim to memory.

Across 42 original essays, the companion offers a cutting-edge introduction to key debates, methods and developments in the field, from AI memory and media memory industries to creative practice and political activism. This volume showcases how memory is shaped, circulated, contested and preserved through diverse media, including film, television, photography, digital platforms, video games, graphic novels, and emerging media forms. It highlights the power of media to construct collective identities, influence public understanding of the past, and frame the stories societies choose to tell, and forget.

Designed for researchers, students and heritage practitioners, The Routledge Companion to Media and Memory provides an essential foundation for understanding how media and memory intersect in a world where the past is constantly being remediated. It is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to grasp the cultural forces that define how we remember today.
