Towards a Collaborative Memory

<p> Focusing on the memory of the German Democratic Republic <em>Towards a Collaborative Memory</em> explores the cross-border collaborations of three German institutions. Using an innovative theoretical and methodological framework drawing on relational sociology network analysis and narrative the study highlights the epistemic coloniality that has underpinned global partnerships across European actors and institutions. Sara Jones reconceptualizes transnational memory towards an approach that is collaborative not only in its practices but also in its ethics and shows how these institutions position themselves within dominant relationship cultures reflected between East and West and North and South.</p>
