The West German novel, radio play, and television series Through the Night (Am grünen Strand der Spree, 1955–1960), which depicts the mass shootings of Jews in the occupied Soviet Union during World War II, has gradually regained popularity in recent years. Originally circulated in postwar West Germany, the Holocaust representations embedded in this multi-medium work have shaped cultural memories up until today. Using numerous archival sources, Microhistories of Memory presents three comprehensive case studies to explore production, reception, and circulation of cultural memories, demonstrating the power of informal communication and providing behind-the-scenes insight into postwar memory culture in West Germany.

Within France, the expression “duty of memory” (le devoir de mémoire)speaks to a complex and ever-evolving relationship with the past. Emerging in the 1970s, this term raised questions about memorialization which dominated public debates in the 1990s, highlighting France’s entanglements with colonialism and the Holocaust. Drawing on a variety of interviews, archival sources, and data surveys, author Sébastien Ledoux spotlights how the trajectory of this term offers a lens for understanding contemporary societies’ relationship with the past on a global scale.

Mysterious Lost Books explores the compelling topic of vanished texts and their profound influence on history, religion, and science. By examining what has been lost, the book sheds light on how gaps in our knowledge shape our understanding of the past and future. The destruction of the Library of Alexandria, for example, led to the obliteration of ancient scientific knowledge. The book emphasizes the concept of ""cultural amnesia,"" exploring how the loss of significant works distorts our comprehension of events and impedes progress. The book delves into the disappearance of religious scriptures, scientific discoveries, and literary creations, illustrating the impact on faith, knowledge, and culture. It uses historical records, archaeological findings, and literary analysis to investigate these losses. A key focus is on lost gospels, which offered alternative perspectives on early Christianity. By adopting a narrative non-fiction approach, Mysterious Lost Books presents information in an engaging manner. The book progresses by introducing cultural amnesia, examining specific cases of lost texts, and analyzing their broader implications for contemporary scholarship. It also offers practical considerations for preserving existing texts. This exploration of vanished texts serves as a reminder of the fragility of knowledge and the importance of safeguarding our cultural heritage.

Assessing the impact of paramilitary violence on border Protestants in Northern Ireland remains a critically overlooked part of the region’s history. Remembered through a framework of memory that blurs the boundary between victim and perpetrator, existing scholarship often disempowers border Protestants by obscuring their experience under the Provisional IRA’s campaign. This re-examination of the conflict illuminates how the Troubles impacted the Protestant community’s physical, economic, and cultural presence in the border counties. Combining oral history with a broader assessment of the Provisional campaign, this book presents a compelling case study for viewing this violence as a form of ethnic cleansing.

In the wake of recent protests against police violence and racism, calls to dismantle problematic memorials have reverberated around the globe. This is not a new phenomenon, however, nor is it limited to the Western world. De-Commemoration focuses on the concept of de-commemoration as it relates to remembrance. Drawing on research from experts on memory dynamics across various disciplines, this extensive collection seeks to make sense of the current state of de-commemoration as it transforms contemporary societies around the world.

The ongoing battle for hearts and minds in Iraq and Afghanistan is a military strategy inspired originally by efforts at domestic social control and counterinsurgency in the United States. Weaponizing Anthropology documents how anthropological knowledge and ethnographic methods are harnessed by military and intelligence agencies in post-9/11 America to placate hostile foreign populations. David H. Price outlines the ethical implications of appropriating this traditional academic discourse for use by embedded, militarized research teams. Price's inquiry into past relationships between anthropologists and the CIA, FBI, and Pentagon provides the historical base for this expose of the current abuses of anthropology by military and intelligence agencies. Weaponizing Anthropology explores the ways that recent shifts in funding sources for university students threaten academic freedom, as new secretive CIA-linked fellowship programs rapidly infiltrate American university campuses. Price examines the specific uses of anthropological knowledge in military doctrine that have appeared in a new generation of counterinsurgency manuals and paramilitary social science units like the Human Terrain Teams. David H. Price is the author of Threatening Anthropology: McCarthyism and the FBI's Surveillance of Activist Anthropologists and Anthropological Intelligence: The Deployment and Neglect of American Anthropology in the Second World War. He is a member of the Network of Concerned Anthropologists and teaches at St. Martin's College in Lacey, Washington.

" How globalized information networks can be used for strategic advantage Until recently, globalization was viewed, on balance, as an inherently good thing that would benefit people and societies nearly everywhere.Now there is growing concern that some countries will use their position in globalized networks to gain undue influence over other societies through their dominance of information and financial networks, a concept known as “weaponized interdependence.” In exploring the conditions under which China, Russia, and the United States might be expected to weaponize control of information and manipulate the global economy, the contributors to this volume challenge scholars and practitioners to think differently about foreign economic policy, national security, and statecraft for the twenty-first century. The book addresses such questions as: What areas of the global economy are most vulnerable to unilateral control of informationand financial networks? How sustainable is the use of weaponized interdependence? What are the possible responses from targeted actors? And how sustainable is the open global economy if weaponized interdependence becomes a default tool for managing international relations? "

""Lost Names"" unearths the stories of forgotten deities, erased rulers, and vanished figures, revealing how power dynamics and ideological agendas actively shape our collective memory. The book explores historical erasure, a process where figures and narratives are deliberately suppressed or distorted. One intriguing aspect examined is ""damnatio memoriae,"" the official condemnation of rulers, demonstrating how political motivations can rewrite history. Another focus is the disappearance of individuals challenging societal norms, illustrating how prevailing social pressures can erase legacies. The book approaches this lost history in three parts, beginning with a theoretical framework drawn from social memory studies, religious studies, and political science. It then presents case studies using archaeological evidence, textual analysis, and comparative mythology. Finally, it examines the implications of this recovered knowledge for contemporary issues like cultural appropriation and historical revisionism. By reconstructing obscured narratives, ""Lost Names"" provides a nuanced understanding of how forgotten deities and erased rulers impact our understanding of the past and cultural evolution.
