Short description:
In this book, the leading international scholars of memory studies synthesize emerging social and cognitive science research on the impact of social media and the Internet on remembering and forgetting. They address methodological issues in studying memory in the digital age and examine whether human memory is being threatened by a shift from a healthy reliance to a dependency on technology. The book aims to build theoretical and empirical foundations for further research to understand the consequences of the Internet and social media for memory representation, expression, and socialization in individuals and the implications for the family, community, and society.
MoreLong description:
It has long been believed that individual human memory has been strengthened by the storage, representational, reproductive, and connective capacities of technologies and media. However, such views of how memory works are being challenged amidst today's digital maelstrom. In particular, the Internet, and social media platforms, have profoundly transformed the ways individuals receive, store, share, and lose information. Memory has become more externalized, dialogical, and transactive, yet at the same time, unwieldy, opaque, and inaccessible.
In The Remaking of Memory in the Age of the Internet and Social Media, Qi Wang and Andrew Hoskins have assembled scholars from cognitive psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and media and communication studies to synthesize emerging social and cognitive science research on the impact of the Internet and social media on remembering and forgetting. They probe whether human memory is being threatened by a shift from a healthy reliance to a dependency on digital media and technologies.
The book illuminates theoretical and empirical research which shows the consequences of human entanglements with the Internet and social media for memory representation, expression, and socialization in individuals and the implications for the family, community, and society.
Gathering the leading international scholars of Memory Studies together, this volume offers a new interdisciplinary agenda of inquiry into the digital remaking of individual, collective, and cultural memory.
Do the internet and social media enhance or obliterate human memory? Is memory even the same thing as it has been in the past? Should we be optimistic or pessimistic about prospects for the future? How do the new media affect our personal memories and our very identity? These are just some of the fundamental questions addressed in this volume. Starting with a fascinating dialogue between the editors
