This edited volume brings together authors from a wide variety of
disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. A historian first
investigates understudied samizdat literature, a film critic then
analyzes Balkan cinema via psychoanalysis, a psychologist examines
contemporary European border policies, and a political scientist
analyzes the Confederate-memorial debate. Philosophers consider the
space of those memorials, ethno-national narratives in India, the
Anthropocene and the mind’s historical imaginary, and the notion of
home. Literary critics examine recent developments in modes of
storytelling and images of Orientalism. What emerges is a new
understanding of history, memory, and time.
