Memory Work for the Future addresses a crucial challenge in pluralistic societies: the organisation of open, participatory and socially inclusive memory practices in contemporary digital media environments.

Advancing inter- and transdisciplinary research and drawing upon empirical research cases from across Europe and beyond, the book examines how and in which ways memory practices in digital media are open for engagement of people with diverse backgrounds. It analyses the modalities of memory making and how they can enable institutional and public memory making with a broad spectrum of people and groups in civil society at local, translocal, national and transnational levels. The book examines the mediatized character of memory making, whilst also considering what sort of obstacles and potential benefits emerge from participatory memory making. As a whole, the book is a source of ideas for creating socially inclusive, sustainable and future-oriented memory practices. The chapters are future-oriented, setting the multidisciplinary research agenda for advancing studies of heritage in contemporary digital media as an element and a driver of cultural and social change.

Memory Work for the Future is oriented towards the development of sustainable future practices. As such, it will be essential reading for academics and students working in the fields of Anthropology, Museum Studies, Digital Cultural Heritage, Memory Studies, Cultural Studies and Design.
