“…in Memorial Day ceremonies or in public events celebrating Israel’s 60th anniversary). Such events, examples of state-sponsored commemoration, are often hypothesized to serve as commemorative agents alternative to the media, and much memory scholarship is focused on such efforts (see, for example, Rosenberg et al, 2010). In model 3, however, the two variables were found nonsignificant in affecting the propensity to name Israel’s establishment as the most important event, when controlling for media exposure.…”

Memory studies scholars tend to stress the significance of the media in shaping collective memories. This study offers a quantitative–empirical examination of this phenomenon. Applying a “memory-setting” research design, inspired by agenda-setting theory, the study examines correlations between the “media memory-agenda” and “public memory-agenda,” to illuminate the influence of the media on the shaping of collective perceptions of the past. Findings point at a significant correlation between media and public memory-agendas, one that increases during periods of heightened coverage of past events. On the individual level, the role of media exposure to commemorative content is significant, surpassing that of direct participation in public commemoration. At the same time, some of the findings point to the resiliency of the public memory-agenda. Therefore, the study’s findings offer a novel understanding of the role of mass media in shaping collective memory, as well as the limits to its influence.

“…Among the chapters in this collection -from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors -are a range of approaches to grappling with these relationships. This book joins an international conversation about the politics of memory and commemoration in other settler-colonial countries including Canada, New Zealand and North America (Black, 2020;Caldwell & Leroux, 2019;Chazan & Cole, 2020;Manning, 2018;O'Malley & Kidman, 2018;Rosenberg et al, 2010).…”

“…It is our hope that by bringing into conversation three things—a sound theory of memory; a connection of theory to the politics of memory; and a criticism of modern memory processes rooted in these two things—we will contribute to the field of memory studies as well as to the dialogue between memory scholars on the nature of memory as a social phenomenon and as a foundation for effective cultural critique (e.g. Rosenberg et al, 2010).…”

The logic of memory: “Paroxysms of tears and joy” for the London Olympics and the Bhopal disaster

We seek to engage in this article the current debate in memory studies regarding the definition and nature of the phenomenon of collective memory. Using the controversy over Dow Chemical Corporation's sponsorship of the London Olympic stadium in 2012 as an example, we theorize memory as inherently logical-that is, as necessary to the maintenance of the overarching logics that govern the political and economic forms of a given society. We suggest that physical memory, or memory manifested in material, spatial objects such as architecture, plays an important role in both inciting remembrance and encouraging forgetfulness. We also make a case for distinguishing between three facets of memory: memory as a collective phenomenon, memory as an individual phenomenon, and the interface between the two where shifts in the processes of remembering and forgetting are made possible. In making this case, we synthesize theories of collective memory with a theory of political critique.
