| Sumario: | Deleuze and Memorial Culture is a detailed study of contemporary forms of public remembrance. Adrian Parr considers the different character traumatic memory takes throughout the sphere of cultural production and argues that contemporary memorial culture has the power to put traumatic memory to work in a positive way. Drawing on the conceptual apparatus of Gilles Deleuze, she outlines the relevance of his thought to cultural studies and the wider phenomenon of traumatic theory and public remembrance. This book offers a revision of trauma theory that presents trauma not simply as a definitive experience and implicitly negative, but an experience that can foster a sense of hope and optimism for the future. Key Features Difficult Deleuzian concepts are explained and defined and applied to studies in culture, media and communications Offers a detailed study of the sociology and politics of collective remembrance A number of case studies are examined including the holocaust, 9/11 and the documentation and dissemination of US military abuses at Abu Ghraib prison |
