Memory Studies: Global Constellations

<p>The first of its kind, this book traces the construction of post-memory in post-communist Romania.</p><p>Focusing on the processes, gaps, agents, and contradictions of post-memory, it examines a range of topics across a variety of disciplines, addressing questions of museums and musealization, law and memory, political trials and retrospective justice, and post-memory in a digital context, while also considering marginalized and forgotten voices, such as those of the Roma population and abandoned children. Moving away from a focus on the institutional mechanisms of transitional justice or officially sanctioned historical narratives, <i>Between the Memory and Post-Memory of Communism in Romania </i>brings together some of the leading voices in the field of memory studies in Romania to adopt a more pluralistic and diverse approach to the communist past.</p><p>It will therefore appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, museum studies, and history with interests in the communist period in Eastern Europe.</p>
