Transculturalism has emerged as one of the most debated and diverse discourses of the interdisciplinary field of memory studies. Analysing the complex ways in which representations of the past travel between and beyond borders in an increasingly globalized present, this edited collection considers some of the most important developments within memory studies across a variety of cultural and historical contexts from the Holocaust to 9/11.
