About this book

Im Kontext der kulturwissenschaftlichen GedĂ€chtnisforschung widmet sich diese interdisziplinĂ€r ausgerichtete Reihe dem VerhĂ€ltnis von Medien und kultureller Erinnerung. Die hier vorgestellten Studien behandeln die ganze Bandbreite der durch Medien konstruierten, tradierten und verbreiteten Erinnerung. Schrift und Bild, das Kino und die 'neuen' digitalen Medien, IntermedialitĂ€t, TransmedialitĂ€t und Remediation sowie die sozialen, zunehmend transnationalen und transkulturellen, Kontexte der mediatisierten Erinnerung gehören zu den Forschungsinteressen der Reihe. Ziel ist es, eine internationale Plattform fĂŒr die interdisziplinĂ€re Medien- und GedĂ€chtnisforschung zu schaffen. Eingereichte Manuskripte werden im peer review Verfahren durch externe Experten begutachtet.
