Abstract
The Introduction outlines the rationale and scope of Gender and Memory in the Globital Age, with an overview of its analytical framework which combines conventional methods with those that emphasise movement and trajectory. The Introduction details a number of new terms: the first neologism is ‘mnemologist’, which Reading defines as the scholar who studies and researches memory and who has a particular interest in the ways in which cultural memory is articulated and mobilised; the second is the idea of the ‘globital’, defined as the combined dynamics of globalisation and digitisation, central to which are transformations to human memory’s languages, practices and forms.
