Autofiction and Cultural Memory

Autofiction and Cultural Memory

Autofiction and Cultural Memory breaks new ground in autofiction research by showing how it gives postcolonial writers a means of bearing witness to past cultural or political struggles and hence of contributing to new forms of cultural memory. Most discussion of autofiction has treated it as an individualistic form dealing with the personal growth of its authors. In doing so it privileges narratives of private development over those of social commitment and accords with Western concepts of ownership and authorship. By contrast Hywel Dix shows how a variety of writers outside the Western world have used the techniques of autofiction in a different way placing themselves on the side lines of their own stories to show solidarity with struggles against imperialism and tyranny. Drawing on examples from Algeria Ethiopia the Caribbean the Americas India and Turkey Dix presents autofiction as a form which combines the life stories of authors with the collective struggles of their societies to restore to view historical injustices that have been marginalised and forgotten. By contributing to new forms of cultural memory autofiction raises important questions about what we choose to remember and what we value in the present. This book will be of interest to anyone working in postcolonial studies world literature trauma studies autobiography life writing or social justice.

UnDoing Buildings Adaptive Reuse and Cultural Memory

UnDoing Buildings Adaptive Reuse and Cultural Memory

UnDoing Buildings: Adaptive Reuse and Cultural Memory discusses one of the greatest challenges for twenty-first-century society: what is to be done with the huge stock of existing buildings that have outlived the function for which they were built? Their worth is well recognised and the importance of retaining them has been long debated but if they are to be saved what is to be done with these redundant buildings? This book argues that remodelling is a healthy and environmentally friendly approach. Issues of heritage conservation sustainability and smartness are at the forefront of many discussions about architecture today and adaptive reuse offers the opportunity to reinforce the particular character of an area using up-to-date digital and construction techniques for a contemporary population. Issues of collective memory and identity combined with ideas of tradition history and culture mean that it is possible to retain a sense of continuity with the past as a way of creating the future. UnDoing Buildings: Adaptive Reuse and Cultural Memory has an international perspective and will be of interest to upper level students and professionals working on the fields of Interior Design Interior Architecture Architecture Conservation Urban Design and Development. | UnDoing Buildings Adaptive Reuse and Cultural Memory

Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

This book clarifies and verifies the role sport has as an alternative marker in understanding and mapping memory in Japan by applying the concept of lieux de mémoire (realms of memory) to sport in Japan. Japanese history and national construction have not been short of sports landmarks since the end of the nineteenth century. Western-style sports were introduced into Japan in order to modernize the country and develop a culture of consciousness about bodies resembling that of the Western world. Japan’s modernization has been a process of embracing Western thought and culture while at the same time attempting to establish what distinguishes Japan from the West. In this context sports functioned as sites of contested identities and memories. The Olympics baseball and soccer have produced memories in Japan but so too have martial arts which by their very name signify an attempt to create traditions beyond Western sports. Because modern sports form bodies of modern citizens and at the same time offer countless opportunities for competition with other nations they provide an excellent ground for testing and contesting national identifications. By revealing some of the key realms of memory in the Japanese field of sports this book shows how memories and counter-memories of (sport) moments places and heroes constitute an inventory for identity. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society. | Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

Memory Place and Identity Commemoration and remembrance of war and conflict

Memory Place and Identity Commemoration and remembrance of war and conflict

This book bridges theoretical gaps that exist between the meta-concepts of memory place and identity by positioning its lens on the emplaced practices of commemoration and the remembrance of war and conflict. This book examines how diverse publics relate to their wartime histories through engagements with everyday collective memories in differing places. Specifically addressing questions of place-making displacement and identity contributions shed new light on the processes of commemoration of war in everyday urban façades and within generations of families and national communities. Contributions seek to clarify how we connect with memories and places of war and conflict. The spatial and narrative manifestations of attempts to contextualise wartime memories of loss trauma conflict victory and suffering are refracted through the roles played by emotion and identity construction in the shaping of post-war remembrances. This book offers a multidisciplinary perspective with insights from history memory studies social psychology cultural and urban geography to contextualise memories of war and their ‘use’ by national governments perpetrators victims and in family histories. | Memory Place and Identity Commemoration and remembrance of war and conflict

South Africa's Struggle to Remember Contested Memories of Squatter Resistance in the Western Cape

South Africa's Struggle to Remember Contested Memories of Squatter Resistance in the Western Cape

Transitional justice studies typically focuses on how nations remember face and deal with histories of past violence. This book however shifts the frame from national discourses of transitional justice onto local memory actors who attempt to engage with these broader systems of meaning from below. The case study is based on the memory struggles of individuals and groups who are attempting to gain access to the discourses and benefits associated with dominant memory identities of ‘victim’ and ‘veteran’ in the context of post-transition South Africa. They share a common history of squatter resistance in the Western Cape in the 1980s and a common struggle for inclusion in dominant memory frameworks. The main theme of this book is the politics of memory as it relates to the conversation between national and local memory. Integrated within this theme is the further theme of alternative histories and counter-memories of struggle from below. In focusing on counter memories of violence and transition this book aims to tell a different version of South African liberation history in relation to the dominant narrative. It analyses local memory actors' attempts to bring their lived histories into conversation with national discourses of reconciliation and the national liberation struggle. In doing so it unpacks a memory paradox occurring within these narratives which highlights the politics of inclusion and exclusion within the frames of transitional justice knowledge. On the one hand this alternate story exposes the paradox between local and national memory while on the other hand it brings into focus the local experience of the intersection between international transitional justice discourses and national transition politics. This book will be of local and international interest to scholars and students in the field of transitional justice memory politics national liberation struggle and South African historiography. It will also be of interest to a broader South Africa public as it offers a deeper understanding of South Africa’s history which challenges taken for granted transitional justice frames of knowledge. | South Africa's Struggle to Remember Contested Memories of Squatter Resistance in the Western Cape

Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development in East Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union A Collection of Essays in Memory of Pr

With the achievement of further EU and NATO enlargement a critical political and economic lens is now focused on East Central Europe and to a lesser extent the other former communist states. Economic growth in each transition state - and more broadly the region - pivots around the prospects for foreign direct investment (FDI) with decisions on where foreign investors will locate their projects now vitally important. This book - the first one devoted to a geographical survey concentrating specifically on FDI in the region - brings together a wide range of prominent authors from the US and Europe including the late Frank Carter to provide a timely and critical examination of the importance of foreign investment. It presents a detailed analysis of location patterns and their significance for regional development with particular emphasis given to the important socioeconomic and political consequences of uneven distribution of FDI across the region and its constituent countries. Divided into two parts the book first deals with general overarching themes and issues before applying these to more specific country case studies. The second part deals with regional studies focusing broadly on the Western Balkans and Bulgaria before looking at specific economic sectors in individual countries. | Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development in East Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union A Collection of Essays in Memory of Pr

Programming for Hybrid Multi/Manycore MPP Systems

Programming for Hybrid Multi/Manycore MPP Systems

Ask not what your compiler can do for you ask what you can do for your compiler. John Levesque Director of Cray’s Supercomputing Centers of ExcellenceThe next decade of computationally intense computing lies with more powerful multi/manycore nodes where processors share a large memory space. These nodes will be the building block for systems that range from a single node workstation up to systems approaching the exaflop regime. The node itself will consist of 10’s to 100’s of MIMD (multiple instruction multiple data) processing units with SIMD (single instruction multiple data) parallel instructions. Since a standard affordable memory architecture will not be able to supply the bandwidth required by these cores new memory organizations will be introduced. These new node architectures will represent a significant challenge to application developers. Programming for Hybrid Multi/Manycore MPP Systems attempts to briefly describe the current state-of-the-art in programming these systems and proposes an approach for developing a performance-portable application that can effectively utilize all of these systems from a single application. The book starts with a strategy for optimizing an application for multi/manycore architectures. It then looks at the three typical architectures covering their advantages and disadvantages. The next section of the book explores the other important component of the target—the compiler. The compiler will ultimately convert the input language to executable code on the target and the book explores how to make the compiler do what we want. The book then talks about gathering runtime statistics from running the application on the important problem sets previously discussed. How best to utilize available memory bandwidth and virtualization is covered next along with hybridization of a program. The last part of the book includes several major applications and examines future hardware advancements and how the application developer may prepare for those advancements.
