Rewilding memory
Rewilding memory provides the basis for a new theoretical and practical agenda to bring greater neurological human diversity and ecological diversity into research and teaching on memory, mind and media. The article develops the concept of ‘more-than-human-memory’ to refer to the co-construction of memories between diverse humans and the environment. The article draws on research that examined a transmedia corpus of 40 neurodivergent memory works…
The labour of place
How do we understand the relationship between memory and place in the context of Extended Reality (XR) migration museum exhibitions? The study combines a global mapping of XR within migration museums, a user analysis of Cologne’s virtual migration museum, and practice-led research with the UK Migration Museum to argue that XR places in Web 2.0 constitute a multiplication of memory’s significant localities. These include a migration memory’s place…
Moving hearts
This study explores how memory forms may be understood through an economic lens tracing how the labour of remembering adds value to and (trans)forms memories. The study focuses on embodied memories and imaginaries of migration and belonging and the ways in which these are (trans)formed through mobile and social media witnessing into a collective living archive and into objectified memory forms that include art works and digital artefacts situated…

Making memory work for feminist theory
The female memory factory
Within feminist memory studies the economy has largely been overlooked, despite the fact that the economic analysis of culture and society has long featured in research on women and gender. This article addresses that gap, arguing that the global economy matters in understanding the gender of memory and memories of gender. It models the conceptual basis for the consideration of a feminist economic analysis of memory that can reveal the dimensions…
Neurodiversity and Communication Ethics
While research has addressed the ways in which autism is represented in popular culture, in literature and in film, this article points to how autistic cultural assemblages afforded by the unevenly global-digital or globital age act to queer neurotypical communication and media ethics more broadly. The article argues that evidence points to the emergence of new human communication ethics that embraces neurodiversity and that values the sensorial,…

Gender and Memory in the Globital Age
Globital Body
This chapter compares digital memories of the human body and birth gained through obstetric sonography with early 20th-century accounts of pregnancy and childbirth. It examines the particular transformations to human memory through the practice of sharing digital memories of the foetus on mobile and social media. The chapter traces the mnemonic practices associated with sharing ultrasound images across six trajectories of the globital memory fiel…

The materiality of globital memory
The cloud is a metaphor that helps to obscure the material realities that rest beneath our digital memories. However, a number of scholars in memory studies have suggested that cultural memory has always had a material basis and some, though limited, scholarly attention has already considered the toxic by-products and unethical practices involved in mining minerals that are used in making digital memories. This article draws on earlier work on th…
Globital Time
Seeing red
This article intervenes into research on cultural and digital memory by arguing for the significance of the materiality of memory and its underlying political economy. Although cultural and digital memories are characterized as contested, multiple and often involving interplay and conflict between different power dynamics, what remains missing is an understanding of the material basis of digital, globally connective memory or what is termed here …
Mediated mobilities
In this article we introduce the themed issue ‘Mediated Mobilities’. We begin by articulating some of the potential relationships between media and mobility critically addressing the key conceptual distinctions that underpin them and the methodological demands placed on media studies when exploring the complex ways in which mobility is embedded in contemporary media ecologies. In the first instance we consider precisely what is meant by mobility,…
Globital Time
The traditional playground game of generations of children ‘What’s the time, Mr Wolf?’ anticipates a metaphor for time that is neither teleological nor digitally networked, but expressed dynamically in terms of folding. If it is Two O’clock, Three O’clock, Four O’clock or any other O’clock, the players may creep towards the big bad Wolf, who has her back turned, with the aim of touching the wall first. But, if the wolf turns and howls that it is …

Identity, memory and cosmopolitanism
Implicated within the relationship between memory and identities at the local, national and international levels is the question of whether there is ‘right to memory’: the human right to have the otherness of the past acknowledged through the creation of symbolic and cultural acts, utterances and expressions. This article outlines the rationale for a right to memory and why the debate is of importance to memory and cultural studies. It outlines s…
The London bombings
Most cultural theorists argue that time in the digital and globalized media era is accelerating, with the future and past collapsed into an extended present. This would seem to be the case with the 2005 London bombings: mobile witnessing through the use of mobile camera phones provided co-present personal communicative memory of the events by survivors and witnesses. This was rapidly transformed by mainstream media organizations into mediated wit…

Mobile Witnessing
Some of the first images rapidly circulated globally in news media of the London Bombings on 7 July 2005 were taken by non-journalists using mobile camera phones. This paper explores some of the ethical issues raised by mobile phone witnessing in the ‘war on terror’. The article uses a performative approach to witnessing in which mobile testimony is seen in terms of performances and speech acts between different parties, including mute witnesses,…

Digital interactivity in public memory institutions
Historical events and social memories are increasingly articulated and accessed through the means of interactive digital technologies. Particularly in the context of history museums, interactive digital media kiosks and web-sites are used to enhance and in some cases constitute a key way in which the past is conveyed to the public. Yet in what ways are new technologies in such contexts constructing a different relationship to the past and how are…

Scarlet lips in Belsen
Cultural and media policies were a key part of the mechanisms of atrocity in the Holocaust. This article looks at the context and implications of some of these policies and argues that, while racism and ethnic exclusion are fundamental to our understanding of the Holocaust and primary to the way in which cultural policies were formulated and used, it is also significant that these were refracted through particular constructions and articulations …

The social inheritance of the Holocaust
This book challenges current thinking on memory and established ideas about how the past, especially atrocity, is handed down. The book addresses how social memories of the Nazi Holocaust are inherited through different media in ways that are gendered. It includes original analyses of genocide in historiography, in people's autobiographies, in documentary and feature films, memorial sites and museums in Britain, Poland and the USA. It includes wo…
