Memory, Consumerism and Media: Reflections on the Emergence of the Field

. Memory Studies, 1 (1): 73--78 (2008)

Abstract

This article situates the emergence of the field of memory studies in relation to several areas of study: cultural studies, media studies, communication and visual culture. It considers key concepts of those fields — memory practices, technologies of memory, mediation and consumerism — in relation to memory studies. Finally, it reflects on some cautionary aspects of memory studies as it moves forward as a field of study.
