About this book
Reviews
“This accessible book reveals the deep, emotional and mnemonic digital and cultural work of the public during national commemorations. This is cultural work through the co-produced methodology that offers the reader new ways of undertaking participatory research in memory studies. Story becomes action (real-time and remembered) as the authors reveal the phatic experience of Australia’s Anzac memories online as a constellation of digital places and feelings and fresh empirical evidence of non-conformity. The originality of this book lies in its collaborative methods across different but inter-related approaches to researching remembrance in the 21st century.” (Joanne Garde-Hansen, Professor of Culture, Media & Communication, University of Warwick, UK)
