Part of the book series: Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies ((PMMS))

Abstract

This chapter develops the analytical framework for a new gendered epistemology of memory in the Globital Age. It models memory in the Globital Age as an assemblage mobilised and (de)securitised by memory agents within an uneven field of struggle that is articulated through the body, in everyday practices, and through states and transnational organisations. It argues that the flux, flow and frictions of globital memory assemblages may be traced through one or more of six trajectories that include (trans)mediality, velocity, extensity, modality, valency and viscosity. It suggests that gendered globital memories might be articulated unevenly within and across these trajectories of the globital memory field in both established and transformative ways.
