The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Memory Studies

It aims at comprehensively presenting relevant concepts, themes and fields, and identifying and creating bridges among them - for example, there are several definitions of the concept of “collective memory” in memory studies depending on the disciplinary field (e.g., psychology and sociology). The encyclopedia entry “collective memory” will make this clear, include the definitions from the relevant fields and propose links among them. It will be a landmark work, concentrating the main approaches and concepts in memory studies across the social sciences, the cognitive sciences and the humanities.
