Participatory Memory Practices: Digital Media, Design, Futures

The Participatory Memory Practices series provides a forum for research on a crucial challenge in pluralistic societies: the organisation of open, participatory and socially inclusive memory practices in contemporary digital media environments.

 Advancing inter- and transdisciplinary research, the series examines how and in which ways memory practices in digital media are open for the engagement of people and groups from diverse backgrounds. It analyses the modalities of memory making and how they can enable institutional and public memory making with diverse actors in civil society across local, national and global levels. In doing so, the series examines the contemporary modes, challenges, and potential futures of participatory memory making in a digitalised and mediatized society. The series provides a state-of-the-art source of knowledge, practices and ideas for creating socially inclusive, sustainable and future-oriented memory practices. It presents future-oriented, empirically grounded research monographs and edited collections that set the multidisciplinary research agenda for studying heritage, memory making and digital media as a driver of cultural and social change.

Titles within the Participatory Memory Practices series appeal to academics and students working in memory studies, heritage studies, museum studies, information studies, archival studies, design anthropology and participatory design, social and cultural anthropology, diversity studies, migration studies, media studies and sociology.
