No. 3 (2012): Spring 2012: Historical Memory

The focus of our third edition lies on the subject of historical memory. Of great importance for the field of cultural history, historical memory, whether experienced by an individual or a collective, allows us to see historical events from various perspectives. Whilst affording us illuminating insights into representations of the past, the role of memory in individual reconciliation and composure allows us to connect with the methodological problems of historical study and its inherent subjectivity. We hope that this issue demonstrates that this subjectivity can be celebrated, and that the articles we chose will complement the existing scholarship in their fields by shedding fresh light on aspects of historical memory.
