MemoScapes. Romanian Journal of Memory and Identity Studies
MemoScapes. Romanian Journal of Memory and Identity Studies explores the construction of the memorial cultures and the various forms of identity (individual, collective, social, cultural, etc.) that may be discerned in any society. It focuses primarily on European communities, but also looks towards other continents, when comparative approaches seem promising. The Journal explores a range of topics, such as the connections between communicative and cultural memory; myths (as elements of cultural memory); the creation of social/cultural/national/local identities; the process of patrimonialization and museification from a “longue durée” perspective. MemoScapes aims at giving a new impetus to the study of the modern and post-modern social imaginary of Europe with a special focus on Central and Eastern part of the continent.
MemoScapes welcomes academic syntheses, analyses and case studies. MemoScapes is a peer-reviewed, yearly, interdisciplinary journal, which publishes articles from the areas of Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as empirical research data, reviews and book presentations.
