The Place of Memory and Memory of Place
Edited by Olena Lytovka
The concept of memory has been investigated across a wide range of academic disciplines from the natural and social sciences, to humanities and arts. However what yields most significant benefit to the study of memory is placing it within an interdisciplinary context. The Place of Memory and Memory of Place aims to spark new conversations across the field of memory and place studies. The topics discussed include non-linearity and spatial thinking, memory and trauma, historic sites and collective (non)memories, cyberspace and talking places, literary landscapes and spatial representations of the Other.

Spatiality and Temporality: An Interdisciplinary Approach
Edited by Ingrida Eglė Žindžiuvienė
This volume discloses diverse and interdisciplinary views on spatiality and temporality – two very broad concepts. The first one suggests the endless boundaries (both in time and space), while the latter points to fragility and brevity. The articles analyse major aspects of these concepts and discuss their presence in all spheres of life: philosophy, culture, globalization, urbanity, literature, music and many others. The reader will be definitely involved into answering the questions posed by the authors of the articles: What is the relationship between spatiality and temporality? What is their role in contemporary life or the past? What is our understanding of these two concepts?

Narratives of Displacement
Edited by Olena Lytovka
The book seeks to explore the narratives of displacement and to demonstrate the validity of a cross-disciplinary approach which brings together the historical, cultural, social and literary expertise in the handling of text. It particularly focuses on time and space representations and on treatment of the theme of cultural ambivalence and identity conflict. In the following chapters of the book, the subject of displacement is regarded as both a migration, voluntary or forced, and a sense of being socially or culturally “out of place”

Projecting Memory
Edited by Inês Moreira and Elena Lacruz
Projecting Memory is a book aiming to trigger, and to keep feeding, interdisciplinary conversations across the research fields of both memory and space. Involving various locations in different countries, from Japan to Turkey, from Spain to Lebanon, among many others, memory affects both disciplinary fields and fields of practice, from architecture to urbanism, from history to political activism, from social intervention to fiction. This book is split into four sections, each devoted to a different understanding of a possible relation to memory: the first part explores the past in new contemporary projects, the second part exposes the disappearance and erosion of past memories and places, the third one deals with traumatic and violent collective memories in new projected spaces, and the last part brings into focus literary fiction as a mode of forgetting and amplifying other memories.
