Description

Framing Public Memory by Kendall R. Phillips explores how collective remembrance is constructed and shaped over time. This collection of essays examines various aspects of public memory, including its scope, relationship with politics, and the ways in which it can be forgotten or distorted. Scholars from diverse disciplines contribute to this volume, shedding light on cultural processes of memory and its impact on our understanding of history. Topics include the role of visual images in shaping collective memories and the ways in which different groups maintain, resist, or challenge these memories. By probing the complexities of public memory, this work offers valuable insights into how we construct and understand our shared past.
