'Memory' and 'remembrance' are key themes in science and in societal-political discourse. This volume consolidates various theories, terminologies, and methods from research on individual and collective memory, particularly addressing the following questions: How does the concept of memory differ across history and social sciences, literary studies, and psychology? In what ways can the memory-forming effects of literature and other media be described and analyzed? What are the implications of the transcultural and transnational turn in memory studies? The aim of this volume is to map the increasingly complex field of interdisciplinary and international memory research and to provide useful analytical categories for literature scholars with a cultural-historical interest.
