This book is about the role of memory in contemporary social sciences and societies. The work has two parts. In the first, experts from different countries address the topic of memory from a theoretical and epistemological perspective: e.g. historical memory, biographical memory, memory as an act of creation, as well as and the narrative dimension of memory. In the second part, case studies are presented, from different countries (France, Italy, Albania, Spain, Brazil, Peru among others) referring to the relationship between memories and aspects of social life, such as migration, conflict, gender relations, journalism and public opinion, culture, collective trauma, art, collaborative archaeology, and the use of film materials. The book has both a political and a methodological intent. It underlines how the circulation of conflicting and unresolved narratives of past events may take multiple forms through a wide range of communicative, aesthetic and cultural codes. The empirical contributions deal with traumatic, silenced, stubborn, and insurgent memories, whose narration is able to have an impact on present and future. Thus, each chapter is an attempt to give back the right to speak to people and stories often placed on the margins of dominant narratives. Constructing Social Memory introduces insights and themes of study that embrace a multiplicity of approaches to memory, and makes a wholly original contribution to the topic.

Moving beyond simplistic and sensationalist portrayals of kidnapping, this book offers a critical and interdisciplinary analysis that examines kidnapping as a social, historical, cultural, and political phenomenon. Kidnapping is a profound violation of human rights that reshapes societies, disrupts governance, and inflicts lasting trauma on individuals and communities. In Colombia, kidnapping became an endemic feature of the armed conflict, leaving tens of thousands of families in a perpetual state of uncertainty and fear. Through an innovative blend of criminology, sociology, transitional justice, surveillance studies, and collective memory epistemologies, this book unpacks kidnapping as a crime of (im)mobility, a strategy of war, and a serious human rights violation. Drawing on fifteen years of research, including statistical analysis, archival work, and interviews with former hostages, ex-combatants, and policymakers, it reveals how kidnapping shaped Colombia’s conflict and its ongoing efforts toward justice, truth, and reconciliation. By exploring its patterns, motivations, and legacies, this book not only sheds light on Colombia’s experience but also contributes to global discussions on transitional justice, collective memory, and the strategies societies adopt to confront mass victimisation. The Social Construction of Kidnapping is essential reading for scholars and students of criminology, transitional justice, human rights, political violence, and Latin American studies, as well as policymakers, human rights advocates, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how societies confront legacies of mass victimisation and forge paths toward accountability and healing.

Imagined Communities: Constructing Collective Identities in Medieval Europe offers a series of studies focusing on the problems of conceptualisation of social group identities, including national, royal, aristocratic, regional, urban, religious, and gendered communities. The geographical focus of the case studies presented in this volume range from Wales and Scotland, to Hungary and Ruthenia, while both narrative and other types of evidence, such as legal texts, are drawn upon. What emerges is how the characteristics and aspirations of communities are exemplified and legitimised through the presentation of the past and an imagined picture of present. By means of its multiple perspectives, this volume offers significant insight into the medieval dynamics of collective mentality and group consciousness. Contributors are Dániel Bagi, Mariusz Bartnicki, Zbigniew Dalewski, Georg Jostkleigrewe, Bartosz Klusek, Paweł Kras, Wojciech Michalski, Martin Nodl, Andrzej Pleszczyński, Euryn Rhys Roberts, Stanisław Rosik, Joanna Sobiesiak, Karol Szejgiec, Michał Tomaszek, Tomasz Tarczyński, Przemysław Tyszka, Tatiana Vilkul, and Przemysław Wiszewski.

In Developing Professional Memory, the author examines narratives from ‘progressive’ and ‘radical’ London-based English teachers who began their careers between 1965 and 1975. English teaching in this period, which the author defines as a ‘cauldron’ of competing and contested currents, is often portrayed negatively in dominant discourses around the subject. The teachers’ narratives, however, provide a much more nuanced and positive story. By recovering and documenting the collective Professional Memory of English teachers in a particular conjuncture, this volume offers a compelling practitioner account of events and developments and proves that learning from Professional Memory has transformative potential. The author argues that by critically confronting narratives, practices and existing conjunctural circumstances, current practitioners might develop greater agency in debates around their professional roles and responsibilities.

′With its list of distinguished contributors and its wide range of topics, the handbook is surely destined to become an invaluable resource for all serious students of nationalism′ - Michael Billig, Professor of Social Sciences at Loughborough University and author of ′Banal Nationalism′ (SAGE 1995) ′The persistence - some would say: revival - of nationalism across the recent history of modernity, in particular the past two decades, has taken many scholars in the social sciences by surprise. In response, interest in the analysis of nationalism has increased and given rise to a great variety of new angles under which to study the phenomenon. What was missing in the cacophony of voices addressing nationalism was a volume that brought them together and confronted them with each other. This handbook does just that. It deserves particular praise for the wide range of approaches and topic included and for the systematic attempt at studying nationalism as a phenomenon of our time, not a remnant from the past′ - Peter Wagner, Professor of Social and Political Theory, European University Institute; and Professor of Sociology, University of Warwick ′For students concerned with the contemporary study of nationalism this will be an invaluable publication. The three-fold division into approaches, themes and cases is a very solid and sensible one. The editors have commissioned essays from leading scholars in the field [and]this handbook provides the best single-volume overview of contemporary nationalism′ - John Breuilly, Professor of Nationalism and Ethnicity, London School of Economics Nationalism has long excited debate in political, social and cultural theory and remains a key field of enquiry among historians, anthropologists, sociologists as well as political scientists. It is also one of the critical media issues of our time. There are, however, surprisingly few volumes that bring together the best of this intellectual diversity into one collection. This Handbook gives readers a critical survey of the latest theories and debates and provides a glimpse of the issues that will shape their future. Its three sections guide the reader through the theoretical approaches to this field of study, its major themes - from modernity to memory, migration and genocide - and the diversity of nationalisms found around the globe. The overall aim of this Handbook is to relate theories and debates within and across a range of disciplines, illuminate themes and issues of central importance in both historical and contemporary contexts, and show how nationalism has impacted upon and interacted with other political and social forms and forces. This book provides a much-needed resource for scholars in international relations, political science, social theory and sociology.

Memory is a fundamental aspect of being and becoming, intimately entwined with space, time, place, landscape, emotion, imagination and identity. Memory studies is a burgeoning field of enquiry drawing from a range of social science, arts and humanities disciplines including human geography, sociology, cultural studies, media studies, heritage and museum studies, psychology and history. This book is a critically theorised practical exposition of how media and technology are used to make memories for museums, archives, social movements and community projects, looking at specific cases in the UK and Brazil where the authors have put these theories into practice. The authors define the protocol they present as social memory technology. Critically, this book is about learning to deal with our pasts and learning new methods of connecting our pasts across cultures toward a shared understanding and application of memory technologies.
