Making Memory: Techne, Technology, And The Refashioning Of Contemporary Memory, Kimberly Lacey
Making Memory: Techne, Technology, And The Refashioning Of Contemporary Memory, Kimberly Lacey
Wayne State University Dissertations
My dissertation answers two questions: Does the tension between interactive technologies and rhetoric re-shape the nature and relevance of the canon of memory? Do interactive technologies affect the ways we remember and persuade?

After unification, there no longer were two states that could each blame the other as the heir of National Socialism and this past had to be renegotiated. The claim that many Germans had been victims became central as evidenced by the vast number of popular literature, commercial cinema and television programs of this subject. I argue with Wulf Kansteiner (2006) that to understand collective memory, we should explore mass media representations. As the majority of highbrow artifacts do …
