Introduction: Searching for Cultural Memory

University of Toronto, Canada, and Free University Berlin, Germany

This Introduction situates the papers and commentaries of this Special Issue on ‘Narrative and Cultural Memory’ within the context of a new multidisciplinary research literature that suggests localizing memory in culture and, in doing so, focuses on the role of narrative. This literature is viewed against the backdrop of a fundamental critique of the traditional notion of memory as reflecting one strand in the emergence of a new postpositivist cultural research paradigm in the study of memory.

Key Words: methodology • narrative • post-positivist paradigm of memory
