Gebundenes Buch

Present Pasts

Urban Palimpsests and the Politics of Memory

Beschreibung

"Fascinating reading, this is a profound, original, and timely book about the world's current obsession with the past, as well as the form which this obsession has taken: memory. Huyssen considers what our obsession with memory means, and examines a number of material forms that it has taken, as well as the social, cultural, and aesthetic functions they have served." --Kaja Silverman, University of California, Berkeley
