“…Memory studies is a multi-, and at times interdisciplinary, area of inquiry that takes as its objects the processes by which collective memory is shaped in different cultures, the ways in which societies institutionalise collective memory through commemorations of the past in museums, festivals, and so on; and the part played by these activities in producing various forms of social and cultural identity. In a recent issue of this journal, it was proposed that, as a consequence of its increasing focus on the ways in which memories circulate and migrate in and between cultures, memory studies has become ‘one of the few truly interdisciplinary enterprises that travel easily – if not always comfortably – between the humanities and the social sciences’ (Vermeulen et al, 2012: 224), and the work presented here certainly supports this view. Memory studies is indeed a multidisciplinary field, if not always an interdisciplinary one.…”

“…It draws on and addresses a considerable diversity of disciplines: psychology, literary studies, history, art history, sociology, cultural and media studies, film studies and more. While this can be a source of intellectual vitality, there is also the risk that memory studies can become an ‘incoherent and dispersed field, characterized by a host of different terminologies rather than a common, generally-agreed-upon conceptual foundation’ (Vermeulen et al, 2012: 224). Moreover, to the extent that a good deal of work within memory studies has concerned itself with issues like trauma and memory, Holocaust memory and ’postmemory’ (Hirsch, 1997), there has been a tendency to emphasise the dysphoric as against the pleasurable aspects of cultural memory and to focus on event-memory as against everyday memory.…”

“…Moreover, to the extent that a good deal of work within memory studies has concerned itself with issues like trauma and memory, Holocaust memory and ’postmemory’ (Hirsch, 1997), there has been a tendency to emphasise the dysphoric as against the pleasurable aspects of cultural memory and to focus on event-memory as against everyday memory. In both these respects, perhaps, memory work on past cinemagoing offers an answer to the call for memory studies to ‘cheer up’ (Vermeulen et al, 2012: 232).…”

Over the past two decades, the relationship between cinema and memory has been the object of increasing academic attention, with growing interest in film and cinema as repositories for representing, shaping, (re)creating or indexing forms of individual and collective memory. This Special Issue on memory and the experience of cinemagoing centres on the perspective of cinema users and audiences, focusing on memories of films, cinema and cinemagoing from three continents and over five decades of the twentieth century. This introduction considers the relationship between memory studies and film studies, sets out an overview of the origins of, and recent and current shifts and trends within, research and scholarship at the interface between historical film audiences, the cinemagoing experience and memory; and presents the articles and reviews which follow within this frame. It considers some of the methodological issues raised by research in these areas and concludes by looking at some of the challenges facing future work in the field.

“…Some argue ‘memory studies’ has reached an ‘impasse’ in ‘collective memory’ research (Vermeulen et al . ), being too narrowly determined by contained case studies. While our research is UK‐specific, it is a response from perspectives of environmental and water research on global flood issues.…”

The paradigm shift to more distributed flood risk management strategies in the UK involves devolved responsibilities to the local, and the need to enhance risk ownership by communities. This poses questions about how communities build resilience to future flood risk, and how agencies support these processes. This paper explores results from interdisciplinary research on 'sustainable flood memory' in the context of effective flood risk management as a conceptual contribution to a global priority. The project aimed to increase understanding of how flood memories provide a platform for developing and sharing lay knowledges, creating social learning opportunities to increase communities' adaptive capacities for resilience. The paper starts by conceptually framing resilience, community, lay knowledge and flood memory. It then explores key themes drawn from semi-structured interviews with floodplain residents affected by the UK summer 2007 floods in four different settings, which contrasted in terms of their flood histories, experiences and kinds of 'communities'. Sustainable flood memories were found to be associated with relational ways of knowing, situated in emotions, changing materiality and community tensions. These all influenced active remembering and active forgetting. The paper reflects on varying integrations of memory, lay knowledges and resilience, and critically evaluates implications of the sustainable flood memory concept for the strategy, process and practice of developing community flood resilience. Given the concept's value and importance of 'memory work', the paper proposes a framework to translate the concept practically into community resilience initiatives, and to inform how risk and flood experiences are communicated within communities.
