Reading the past against the grain: the shape of memory studies

Article Abstract:

Contemporary collective memory studies possess insufficient conceptual clarity. As a result, they have generated new questions that are begging for answers. Despite adopting new assumptions about memory, experts still donot know where and among whom social memory is most actively operative. Similarly, there is no clear consensus as to how remembering is accomplished for different social groups.

Getting past the latest "post": assessing the term "post-colonial."

Article Abstract:

The term "post-colonial" has gained widespread use in the fields of anthropology, comparative literature and cultural studies within a relatively short span of time. It replaced the terms 'third world' and 'neo-colonial' used in the three worlds model. This can be attributed to the role played by the terms 'post-colonial' and 'globalization' in promoting global capitalism.
