Considering both retrospective memories and the prospective employment of memories, Memory in a Mediated World examines troubled times that demand resolution, recovery and restoration. Its contributions provide empirically grounded analyses of how media are employed by individuals and social groups to connect the past, the present and the future.
Based on a digital memories seminar hosted by the Centre for Media and Culture Research at London South Bank University in July 2012.
