《記憶研究》是一本國際同行評議期刊。它為這一新興領(lǐng)域的工作提供了認(rèn)可、形式和方向，并為就理論、經(jīng)驗(yàn)和方法問題進(jìn)行對話和辯論提供了一個(gè)重要的論壇，這些問題是當(dāng)今協(xié)作理解記憶的核心。記憶研究考察了社會(huì)、文化、認(rèn)知、政治和技術(shù)變革對個(gè)人、群體和社會(huì)記憶和遺忘的方式、內(nèi)容和原因的影響。該雜志回應(yīng)并試圖塑造關(guān)于當(dāng)代記憶的本質(zhì)、操縱和爭論的公共和學(xué)術(shù)論述。盡管在研究諸如個(gè)人和公眾身份的形成、文化和政治以及社會(huì)群體等問題時(shí)，記憶具有認(rèn)識(shí)論和因果關(guān)系上的意義，但在該領(lǐng)域的基本概念和方法上仍然存在著巨大的分歧。該領(lǐng)域通過問題或主題來調(diào)動(dòng)學(xué)術(shù)力量，而不是通過單一的方法或傳統(tǒng)。我們尋求的是那些突出并有意協(xié)商背景和假設(shè)分歧的論文，而不是那些避免這些問題的論文。至關(guān)重要的是，我們歡迎向記憶研究的不同參與者提交意見。

Memory Studies is an international peer reviewed journal. It affords recognition, form, and direction to work in this nascent field, and provides a critical forum for dialogue and debate on the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues central to a collaborative understanding of memory today.Memory Studies examines the social, cultural, cognitive, political and technological shifts affecting how, what and why individuals, groups and societies remember, and forget. The journal responds to and seeks to shape public and academic discourses on the nature, manipulation, and contestation of memory in the contemporary era.Despite the epistemological and causal significance attributed to memory in the study of such questions as the formation of personal and public identity, culture and politics, and social communities, there remains dramatic divergence on the basic concepts and methods of the area.The field mobilises scholarship driven by problem or topic, rather than by singular method or tradition. We seek papers that highlight and deliberately negotiate divergence in backgrounds and assumptions, as opposed to those that avoid these issues.Crucially, we welcome submissions which speak to a range of participants across memory studies.
