Toward an integrated appreciation of popular cultural mnemonic aesthetics

Working Group 4 works on intergrating the data and analyses produced in Working Groups1-3 to develop a theoretical framework that can help understand the mechanisms of popular-cultural memory work in an inter- and transmedial context.

Working Group 4 Objective

WG4 relies on the expertise of the Laboratory for Digital Technologies in Researching Cultural Complexity at the University of Rijeka, directed by Benedikt Perak.

Its main objective is to design an interactive digital model of popular-cultural participatory memory work, accounting for the different mnemonic narratives, aesthetics, their intertextual and intermedial relations, as well as for their reception and key production and distribution actors.

The model, which will combine content-, structure-, and relation-focused dimensions, will be constructed using data gathered in the post-Yugoslav space and selected international case studies, but its design will be applicable to other contexts. 

Stay tuned!
