Memory and periphery
An introduction

https://doi.org/10.64166/wh2ed335Abstract
This special issue addresses the possible connections and mutual benefits of examining together two analytic concepts: memory and periphery. These concepts receive much attention in various scholarly discussions, yet they have done so rather independently from each other. The potential applications and utilities of combining memory and periphery will hopefully become apparent in this introduction, as well as in the contributions to this issue. But before turning to definitions and research questions, let us first take a look at a recent film production, which illustrates a few of the possible perspectives that connecting memory and periphery may yield.
