トランスナショナル・メモリー

Transnational memory studies addresses collective memories between and beyond bounded national and cultural frameworks of remembering. The field has emerged from sociological, historical, literary and cultural research on the universalization of Holocaust memory, the comparability and entanglement of different histories of violence, the mnemonic consequences of worldwide migration, and the transnational circulation of media representations of the past. New directions of research address transnational memory activism, the role of digital, especially social, media for transnational remembering, and an expansion of the field towards planetary, environmental, and "slow" perspectives on collective memory. The development of psychological perspectives on transnational memory is still in its infancy, but vital for a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon.
