Synopsis
In this title, the author works through some of the most interesting and important theories of representation explored within historical space. He offers an analysis of diverse topics, such as the museum as mass medium, post-Berlin Wall German identity politics, the fragmented body in the work of poet Rainer Maria Rilke, and the Fluxus art movement. After highlighting how an analysis of memory helps us remember what makes things modern and postmodern, he sheds light on the ways that digital/virtual technology allows for forgetting the horrors of modern technology.

Publisher's Note
As we are approaching our fin de sielce, issues of time and memory haunt contemporary culture. Musuems and memorials are being constructed rapidly, as if there were no tomorrow. Contemporary art and literature focuses on memory and the past, rather than claiming radical breakthroughs into some unknown future. With the recent resurgence of nationalism and issues of national identity, the political future, too, seems to fold itself back into the past rather than offering a bold vision of the 21st century. The great paradox of our fin de siecle culture is that novelity is even more associated with memory and the past rather than future expectation. But if the obsession with memory is one salient symptom in this age of a modernity grown old, then cultural and political amnesia is undoubtedly its counterpoint. Rather than blaming amnesia on television or the school, *Twilight Memories* argues that the danger of amnesia is inherent in the information revolution. Our obsessions withcultural memory can be read as re-representing a powerful reaction against the electronic archive and they mark a shift in the way we live structures of temporality. In this book, the media are the hidden veil through which the author looks at the problem of cultural memory and an emerging new sensibility of temporality in literature, art, politics, media theory and the museum.
