"La historia que me has pedido que te cuente no comienza con la conmovedora fealdad de la muerte de Lloyd. Comienza un día de agosto de hace mucho tiempo, cuando el sol me abrasaba la cara y yo tenía nueve años, y mi padre y mi madre me vendieron a un desconocido. Digo mi padre y mi madre, pero en realidad fue mi madre..." La narradora de El libro de Memory es una mujer albina que languidece en la prisión de máxima seguridad de Chikurubi, en Harare, Zimbabue, donde está encarcelada por asesinato. Como parte de su apelación, su abogada le pide a Memory que escriba a una periodista americana interesada en su caso todo lo que sucedió tal y como ella lo recuerda. En su país la pena de muerte es preceptiva en casos de asesinato, y Memory escribe literalmente para salvar su vida. A medida que se despliega la narración de su vida, cuajada de un sorprendente sentido del humor, sabemos que ha sido juzgada y condenada por el asesinato de Lloyd Hendricks, su padre adoptivo. Pero, ¿quién era Lloyd Hendricks? ¿Por qué Memory no siente remordimientos por su muerte? Y, ¿sucedió todo tal y como ella lo recuerda? Moviéndose entre las barriadas de los negros pobres y las zonas residenciales de los blancos ricos, entre pasado y presente, Memory va tejiendo un relato fascinante en el que se entrelazan el amor, la obsesión, la inevitabilidad del destino y las trampas de la memoria. NOVELA FINALISTA DE LOS PREMIOS BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION Y PRIX FEMINA 2016. Esta primera novela de Petina Gappah ofrece una historia exótica y cargada de simbolismo y emotividad, de lectura sencilla y amena, que permite adentrarse en un contexto social y cultural alejado de nuestra realidad cotidiana, pero con algunas semejanzas en la naturaleza humana que hace que podamos empatizar con la protagonista, su historia y su memoria.

In Beyond Faith: Belief, Morality and Memory in a Fifteenth-Century Judeo-Iberian Manuscript, Michelle M. Hamilton sheds light on the concerns of Jewish and converso readers of the generation before the Expulsion. Using a mid-fifteenth-century collection of Iberian vernacular literary, philosophical and religious texts (MS Parm. 2666) recorded in Hebrew characters as a lens, Hamilton explores how its compiler or compilers were forging a particular form of personal, individual religious belief, based not only on the Judeo-Andalusi philosophical tradition of medieval Iberia, but also on the Latinate humanism of late 14th and early 15th-century Europe. The form/s such expressions take reveal the contingent and specific engagement of learned Iberian Jews and conversos with the larger Iberian, European and Arab Mediterranean cultures of the 15th-century.

The public authorities have not successfully resolved the management of the traumatic memory of the wars, dictatorships and massacres to which the European project was always intended to be a counterpoint. The conflict of memories and the public discourses about the past are latent on ideological, political and cultural levels. However, if in the past the conflict concerning memories tended to develop inside the borders of countries, it has now leapt into the European arena. This has also led to the confrontation and questioning of the great narratives established in the common memory, especially with countries of the East joining the European Union. Each community, group or nation maintains common memories that do not always fit in or converge with a general overall account. The origins of the UB Solidarity Foundation’s European Observatory on Memories lie in these debates, and through this book — which includes the contributions of specialists in multiple disciplines and the speeches that were given at the first international symposium, “Memory and Power: A Transnational Perspective” — it hopes to present some of the key challenges that this conflict of memories has in store for us in the present and in the future.

Film itself is an artifact of memory. A blend of all the other fine arts, film portrays and preserves human memory, someone's memory, faulty or not, dramatically or comically, in a documentary, feature film or short. Hollywood may dominate 80 percent of cinema production but it is not the only voice. World cinema is about those other voices. Drawn initially from presentations from a series of film conferences held at the University of Texas at San Antonio, this collection of essays covers multiple geographical, linguistic, and cultural areas worldwide, emphasizing the historical and cultural interpretation of films. Appendices list films focusing on memory and invite readers to explore the films and issues raised.

This fourth Variorum collection of articles by Peter Linehan comprises items largely from the past decade. The studies represent further investigation of themes broached in earlier works, in particular the latest report on the movements of Cardinal John of Abbeville, and the related subjects of historiography and historians, the interplay of history and government, and aspects of sacral monarchy. Articles on Zamora's frustrated legal history and Zamora's cardinal extend the Castilian theme across the territorial frontier into the kingdom of Portugal, and two other items explore English ramifications and developments in papal procedures.

Romantic Motives explores a topic that has been underemphasized in the historiography of anthropology. Tracking the Romantic strains in the the writings of Rousseau, Herder, Cushing, Sapir, Benedict, Redfield, Mead, Levi-Strauss, and others, these essays show Romanticism as a permanent and recurrent tendency within the anthropological tradition."
