Summary:

"This cross-disciplinary study examines questions relating to the complex relationships between ethics, memory, modernity, and post-modernity. The articles gathered here address subjects such as the lingering traces of modernity in postmodern philosophical reflections, the influence of museums on collective memory, the potential controversies of curatorship, Deleuze's cinematic theory, the marginalization of the "other" architecture, the cinema of Edgar Reitz, and the culture of autobiography."--Jacket
