Memory Studies

《记忆研究》是一本国际同行评议期刊。它为这一新兴领域的工作提供了认可、形式和方向，并为就理论、经验和方法问题进行对话和辩论提供了一个重要的论坛，这些问题是当今协作理解记忆的核心。记忆研究考察了社会、文化、认知、政治和技术变革对个人、群体和社会记忆和遗忘的方式、内容和原因的影响。该杂志回应并试图塑造关于当代记忆的本质、操纵和争论的公共和学术论述。尽管在研究诸如个人和公众身份的形成、文化和政治以及社会群体等问题时，记忆具有认识论和因果关系上的意义，但在该领域的基本概念和方法上仍然存在着巨大的分歧。该领域通过问题或主题来调动学术力量，而不是通过单一的方法或传统。我们寻求的是那些突出并有意协商背景和假设分歧的论文，而不是那些避免这些问题的论文。至关重要的是，我们欢迎向记忆研究的不同参与者提交意见。

Memory Studies is an international peer reviewed journal. It affords recognition, form, and direction to work in this nascent field, and provides a critical forum for dialogue and debate on the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues central to a collaborative understanding of memory today.Memory Studies examines the social, cultural, cognitive, political and technological shifts affecting how, what and why individuals, groups and societies remember, and forget. The journal responds to and seeks to shape public and academic discourses on the nature, manipulation, and contestation of memory in the contemporary era.Despite the epistemological and causal significance attributed to memory in the study of such questions as the formation of personal and public identity, culture and politics, and social communities, there remains dramatic divergence on the basic concepts and methods of the area.The field mobilises scholarship driven by problem or topic, rather than by singular method or tradition. We seek papers that highlight and deliberately negotiate divergence in backgrounds and assumptions, as opposed to those that avoid these issues.Crucially, we welcome submissions which speak to a range of participants across memory studies.
