In recent years, "memory" has become a core concept in the field of historical research. The term "memory" represents both a new and unique field of study and a new way through which history can be conceptualized as a more general field of inquiry. This book provides an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to various discussions and theories about memory, covering topics that embody the common concerns of historians. The book focuses on the role of memory in so-called historical processes, examining the connections between the individual and the collective, between memory as survival and memory as reconstruction, and between memory and history as various forms of retrospective knowledge.
