Book Details
Regions of Memory
Summary
“Regions of memory” are a scale of social and cultural memory that reaches above the national, yet remains narrower than the global or universal. The chapters of this volume analyze transnational constellations of memory across and between several geographical areas, exploring historical, political and cultural interactions between societies. Such a perspective enables a more diverse field of possible comparisons in memory studies, studying a variety of global memory regions in parallel. Moreover, it reveals lesser-known vectors and mechanisms of memory travel, such as across Cold War battle lines, across the Indian Ocean, or between Southeast Asia and western Europe.

Author Bio
Simon Lewis is a scholar whose work engages with memory studies, transnational history, and cultural analysis. His research interests center on how collective memory is formed, shared, and compared across different regions and social contexts. In edited and scholarly work, he examines connections between historical, political, and cultural processes, helping to frame memory as a field shaped by movement across national boundaries rather than confined within them.
