Stories and Memories, Memories and Histories
A Cross-disciplinary Volume on Time, Narrativity, and Identity
Series: - Value Inquiry Book Series, Volume: 404
- Philosophy, Literature, and Politics, Volume: 404
Volume Editor:
This edited volume brings together authors from a wide variety of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. A historian first investigates understudied samizdat literature, a film critic then analyzes Balkan cinema via psychoanalysis, a psychologist examines contemporary European border policies, and a political scientist analyzes the Confederate-memorial debate. Philosophers consider the space of those memorials, ethno-national narratives in India, the Anthropocene and the mindâs historical imaginary, and the notion of home. Literary critics examine recent developments in modes of storytelling and images of Orientalism. What emerges is a new understanding of history, memory, and time.
James Griffith, Ph.D. (2014), DePaul University, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. He has published several articles on political philosophy, early modern philosophy, and contemporary Continental philosophy, as well as Fable, Method, and Imagination in Descartes (2018).
