The collection argues that contemporary evolutionary science in conjunction with studies interconnecting cognition affect and emotion as well as research on socially mediated memory provides innovatively interdisciplinary contexts for viewing current work on how cultural and social environments influence gene expression and neural circuitry. Building on this foundation Cultural Memory turns to the exploration of the psychological processes and social contexts through which cultural memory is shaped circulated revised and contested. It investigates how various modes of cultural expression architecture cuisine poetry film and fiction reconfigure shared conceptualizing patterns and affectively mediated articulations of identity and value. Each chapter showcases research from a wide range of fields and presents diverse interdisciplinary contexts for future scholarship. As cultural memory is a subject that invites interdisciplinary perspectives and is relevant to studying cultures around the world of every era this collection addresses an international readership comprising scholars from the humanities social sciences and natural sciences from advanced undergraduates to senior researchers.
