Assemblage Memories: Walking Through Emergent and Restless Methods

Abstract

Providing a summary of the main arguments and findings of the book, this chapter sets out a series of propositions for a subset discipline of activist memory studies. In doing so, ‘Assemblage Memories: Walking through Emergent and Restless Methods’ reintroduces earlier memory scholarship that sees memory as both a political practice and an object of study. Taking an autobiographical activist memory as an illustrative example, this chapter documents the assemblage approach developed in the book and demonstrates it in a microcosm.
