JONES Owain, GARDE-HANSEN JoanneGeography and memory : explorations in identity, place and becomingBasingstoke ; New York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2012, XII-272 p.Collection Palgrave Macmillan memory studiesISBN 978-0-230-29299-4C 1161Résumé éditeur : Geography and Memory creates a new space of study by assembling international scholars and emerging talent for the first coherent and co-ordinated approach to explorations of identity, place and becoming. In focusing upon these three dynamics the editors have organised the relationship between geography and memory into an accessible framework for approaching key aspects of memory, remembering, archives, commemoration and forgetting in modern societies. The contributors are drawn from a range of local, national and international contexts, including the UK, Germany, USA, Malaysia and Australia. The book uniquely opens up the disciplines of geography (human, political, cultural and physical) into a dialogue with other disciplines such as media, the arts, heritage, psychology, psychotherapy, politics, sociology and cognitive science so as to present a wide-ranging and nuanced approach to memory studies.OWAIN JONES researches in geographies of nature-society, landscape, place and nature, memory and place, and geographies of childhood.
