Introductory lecture: Theoretical framework for the study of memory in old and new media age

This lecture explores the burgeoning field of memory studies and highlights key concepts that are crucial to understanding the relationship between memory and communication media. It asserts that there is a strong connection between memory and media, reflected in the ways in which memory is produced, stored, and conveyed through media.

The lecture focuses on the central areas of media memory research, including journalism, media's impact on individual memory, media's role in shaping collective memory (with a particular emphasis on its potential for shaping social hegemony), and the changes brought about by the digitalization of memory processes.

Overall, the lecture provides a comprehensive overview of the relationship between memory and media and provides a foundation for further inquiry and exploration in this field.
