The heart-pounding first installment of the MacNeice Mysteries, featuring a sophisticated detective solving the horrific murder of a beautiful young violinist — perfect for fans of Peter Robinson’s Alan Banks series. Detective Superintendent MacNeice is returning from a pilgrimage to his wife’s grave when he’s called to a crime scene of singular and disturbing beauty. A young woman in evening dress lies gracefully posed on the floor of a pristine summer cottage so that the finger of one hand regularly interrupts the needle arm of a phonograph playing Schubert’s Piano Trio. The only visible mark on her is the bruise under her chin, which MacNeice recognizes: it is the mark that distinguishes dedicated violinists, the same mark that once graced his wife. The murder is both ingenious and horrific, and soon entangles MacNeice and his team in Eastern Europe’s ancient grievances...

"Erasure: The Spectre of Cultural Memory explores key issues around the increasing aesthetic and cultural erasure occurring in our society. It moves from the seminal act of the American Pop artist Robert Rauschenberg erasing a drawing by the painter Willem de Kooning in 1953, perhaps signalling that an echo or trace would be all that is valued in the future, to the impact that the new technologies - such as Twitter, Facebook, email, smartphones, snapchat and Instagram - are having on family, class, sex, time, speed and space. This erasure is driven by new media technology, globalisation, and new structures of education, work, home and consumption. Erasure: The Spectre of Cultural Memory is the first book that brings together artists, curators, scholars and thinkers who are, in their respective contexts, at the forefront of these compelling questions"--Publisher's website.

"Erasing the prosthetic of memory" (ETPOM) is a thesis that fosters an open model of thinking. ETPOM enables the perception of architectural entities to evolve by disrupting our existing memories, which govern our reception of space. This thesis offers a challenge to the prosthesis of architectural memory repetitively embedded into the creators' and occupants' minds alike. The architectural prosthetic of memory is the pre-existing knowledge we collectively accumulate and is visible in the domination of ancient styles such as classicism in our modern cities. The historical baggage embedded into the architects' memories is constantly solidifying from a lack of questioning. To probe forgetting ETPOM complicates and disrupts. Architecture relies on the memory stored in the mind's inner chambers as a means of comfort. When the comfort of memory is rattled, a void opens. By disrupting the closed model of architecture governing our experience, different pathways of perception are allowed to arise. Occupants are freed to become lost within a multiplicity of moments. Architectural details that form questioning events instigate the mind to open its perspective. Detailing for forgetting unveils a strand of architecture that goes against the normal model we follow, where experience is not limited by what we remember. In acting as disruption, ETPOM uses different terminology to give a sense of the transitory state of experience; a means to understand the before unnamed. Oliver Sacks the famous neurologist questioned "As for sickness are we certain we are able to live without it?" This thesis is a disruption; it is the sickness. Understanding is based on relativity not universality. Forgetting allows a spontaneous narrative to arise based on contrast. Without a disruption to jog us back into the present moment, we will continue to experience space as if it were a phantom of memories past.

I have never thought much about the role memory plays in the preservation and continuity of one's identity. As an artist who witnessed the waning of my father's personhood through the dissolution of his memory, I wrestled with how to convey the devastating personal and human experience of memory loss without relying on visual clichés.This series of drawings is the result of my final collaboration with my father.As with his memories, only the ghosts are left.

As a visual medium, the photograph has many culturally resonant properties that it shares with no other medium. These essays develop innovative cultural strategies for reading, re-reading and re-using photographs, as well as for (re)creating photographs and other artworks and evoke varied sites of memory in contemporary landscapes: from sites of war and other violence through the lost places of indigenous peoples to the once-familiar everyday places of home, family, neighborhood and community. Paying close attention to the settings in which such photographs are made and used--family collections, public archives, museums, newspapers, art galleries--the contributors consider how meanings in photographs may be shifted, challenged and renewed over time and for different purposes--from historical inquiry to quests for personal, familial, ethnic and national identity.

In his highly praised book The Nostalgia Factory, renowned memory scholar Douwe Draaisma explored the puzzling logic of memory in later life with humor and deep insight. In this compelling new book he turns to the “miracle” of forgetting. Far from being a defect that may indicate Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, Draaisma claims, forgetting is one of memory’s crucial capacities. In fact, forgetting is essential. Weaving together an engaging array of literary, historical, and scientific sources, the author considers forgetting from every angle. He pierces false clichés and asks important questions: Is a forgotten memory lost forever? What makes a colleague remember an idea but forget that it was yours? Draaisma explores “first memories” of young children, how experiences are translated into memory, the controversies over repression and “recovered” memories, and weird examples of memory dysfunction. He movingly examines the impact on personal memories when a hidden truth comes to light. In a persuasive conclusion the author advocates the undervalued practice of “the art of forgetting”—a set of techniques that assist in erasing memories, thereby preserving valuable relationships and encouraging personal contentment.
