Dictionary of Collective Memory
by Ricard Vinyes
Description
The book, choosing the form of a dictionary, allows the identification and detailed analysis of historical episodes, concepts and categories of studies on memory. It also has the graphic support of some of the most significant images of our contemporary history.
A cross-section traces the progress made in the different continents around the management of its memory, the image of the political and social traumas that lived after World War II, the international projection of that image and the policies that were assumed later.
This work contributes to the generation of knowledge about the social processes in which contemporary public memory has been built. It is a high-level scientific work on the management of memory –its traumas, but also the challenges of restitution and coexistence– in Europe and America throughout the xx and xxi centuries.
