This is the first volume to study the interface between contemporary social movements, cultural memory, and digital media. Establishing the digital memory work practices of social movements as an important area of research, the volume’s contributions reveal how activists use digital media to lay claim to, circulate, and curate cultural memories. Interdisciplinary in scope, these contributions address case studies from Germany, the USA, Sweden, Argentina, India, the UK, Russia, and Italy while employing methodologies that target digitally and non-digitally entangled mobilizations of mediated remembrance. They focus on topics including: memory’s role in transgender transmedia activism; the mnemonic appropriations of far-right movements; the human and non-human memory work of activist Facebook pages; the digital spread of historical protest photographs; the recycling of commemorative activist hashtags on Twitter; the diffusion of memories between local and transnational scales of activism; the mediatisation of memory-based performative protests via YouTube; digitally inflected notions of the living archive in contentious settings; and digital media witnessing as a future memory resource. weiterlesen
