MEMORY UNBOUND Tracing the Dynamics of Memory Studies Edited by Lucy Bond, Stef Craps, Pieter Vermeulen 978-1-78533-300-2 £68.00 £34.00 Hb Not Yet Published (Due November 2016 US and December 2016 UK) “Memory Unbound is exemplary of the research and writing of the ‘third wave’ of memory studies. It heralds a new departure in keeping with the transforming effects of new technologies of communication, and conveys the energy and excitement attending the precipitous emergence and rapid development of this new realm of scholarship.” · Patrick Hutton, University of Vermont “This is a great book—provocative, timely, and thoughtful. It proposes a future for memory research that finds a place for new investigators to embed their ideas.” · Joanne Garde-Hansen, University of Warwick Though still a relatively young field, memory studies has undergone significant transformations since it first coalesced as an area of inquiry. Increasingly, scholars understand memory to be a fluid, dynamic, unbound phenomenon—a process rather than a reified object. Embodying just such an elastic approach, this state-of-thefield collection systematically explores the transcultural, transgenerational, transmedial, and transdisciplinary dimensions of memory—four key dynamics that have sometimes been studied in isolation but never in such an integrated manner. Memory Unbound places leading researchers in conversation with emerging voices in the field to recast our understanding of memory’s distinctive variability. Lucy Bond is a lecturer in English literature at the University of Westminster and a founder of the London Cultural Memory Consortium. Stef Craps is an associate professor of English literature at Ghent University, where he directs the Cultural Memory Studies Initiative. Pieter Vermeulen is an assistant professor of American and comparative literature at the University of Leuven.
