Introduction

Abstract

This volume deals with a cluster of concepts that constitute the com-ponents of memory in a historical perspective: visuality, corporeality and mobility. Its chapters examine various interactions between the three terms of this cluster. ‘After’ or ‘post’ 1968 is the temporal positionality that we have decided to take in this book for the contextualization of these themes. Therefore, we have chosen to start with a reflection on the temporal posi-tionality of our collection of essays, trying to clarify in which sense we use the expression ‘after 1968’. The field of knowledge that will be explored concerns the performative dimensions of remembering and communicat-ing. In this perspective, memory is considered as an interactive process, in which the body, both mobile and constrained, is a point of both departure and reference.
