Frontiers of Memory in the Asia-Pacific explores the making and consumption of conflict-related heritage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Contributing to a growing literature on ‘difficult heritage’, this collection advances our understanding of how places of pain, shame, oppression, and trauma have been appropriated and refashioned as ‘heritage’ in a number of societies in contemporary East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. The authors analyse how the repackaging of difficult pasts as heritage can serve either to reinforce borders, transcend them, or even achieve both simultaneously, depending on the political agendas that inform the heritage-making process. They also examine the ways in which these processes respond to colonialism, decolonization, and nationalism. The volume shows how efforts to preserve various sites of ‘difficult heritage’ can involve the construction of new borders in the mind between what is commemorated and what is often deliberately obscured or forgotten.

Between August 1918 and March 1919 the Spanish influenza spread worldwide, claiming over 25 million lives - more people than perished in the fighting of the First World War. It proved fatal to at least a half-million Americans. Yet, the Spanish flu pandemic is largely forgotten today. In this vivid narrative, Alfred W. Crosby recounts the course of the pandemic during the panic-stricken months of 1918 and 1919, measures its impact on American society, and probes the curious loss of national memory of this cataclysmic event. This 2003 edition includes a preface discussing the then recent outbreaks of diseases, including the Asian flu and the SARS epidemic.

一座沒有記憶與歷史的二戰城市，將成為患有失憶症的城市；一座二戰城市，需要一群具反思、批判和實踐能力的市民，來保存、活化、滋養她。#什麼是六燃 「六燃」是「日本第六海軍燃料廠」的簡稱，與日本本島的一至四燃，北韓平壤的五燃，同為二戰時生產軍需燃料的工廠。1945年日軍戰敗、國民政府來台，高雄六燃成為中油煉油廠，新竹六燃則先成為空軍軍舍、後成為眷村「忠貞新村」。眷村遷村後，六燃廠房一度成為廢棄之地，最後在藝術家與文史愛好者的奔走下，以博物館的形式保留，也就是六燃「新竹生博物館」（Hsinchu Living Museum）計畫。#以藝術再造歷史現場 作為朝向高度發展的城市，新竹在逐步回溯歷史的過程中，尚缺席二戰與冷戰為城市帶來的影響。陽明交通大學的「新竹生博物館」計畫，便是希望藉由藝術策展的形式，透過「藝術實踐參與社區營造」、「智慧科技支援生態保育」、「文史田調結合混合實境再造歷史現場」的實踐，探討六燃的歷史、記憶，以及曾生活在六燃中、現已畫下休止符的眷村文化；在逐漸孕育成形的過程中，也力求與居民之間的互相理解，促成居民與社區情感的凝聚。當城市患有失憶症，這座「活的」博物館，便成為銜接城市過去、現在到未來的重要樞紐。 本書忠實呈現2019年六燃文件展的內容：策展團隊以日本第六海軍燃料廠為基地，透過文獻、藝術與科技結合，呈現新竹在戰爭、工業、遷徙與記憶交錯下的歷史紋理。藉由再造歷史現場、眷村文化轉譯及與居民的對話，六燃展試圖讓被遺忘的歷史重新進入公共視野，並成為能持續生成、對話與更新的文化生命體；並透過本書內容，呈現藝術可以如何走進社區，與地方對話，找回這塊台灣遺失的文化拼圖、記憶缺口。【活隱喻・活博物館】系列書籍的展望 「活隱喻．活博物館」（Living Metaphor．Living Museum）系列出版品，是陽明交通大學自2018年起執行文化部「再造歷史現場」與教育部高教深耕辦公室所支持的新竹六燃保溫睦鄰與博物館計畫，由陽明交大六燃團隊為「日本第六海軍燃料廠新竹支廠」（簡稱新竹六燃）之保存活化議題所展開的大學社會實踐之成果。 「活隱喻・活博物館」的策展理念，讓歷史場域不再僅是過去的遺留，繼續成為對話、行動與想像的所在。新竹六燃作為一個想像共同體，指引人們在記憶與當代的流動中，建構出一個融合生命、生態與文化的永續體。

For readers of Rebecca Solnit and Jenny Odell, this poetic and inventive blend of history, memoir, and visual essay reflects on how we can resist the erasure of our collective memory in this American century. Our sense of our history requires us to recall the details of time, of experiences that help us find our place in the world together and encourage us in the search for our individual identities. When we lose sight of the past, our ability to see ourselves and to understand one another is diminished. In this book, Colette Brooks explores how some of the more forgotten aspects of recent American experiences explain our challenging and often puzzling present. Through intimate and meticulously researched retellings of individual stories of violence, misfortune, chaos, and persistence--from the first mass shooting in America from the tower at the University of Texas, the televised assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald, life with nuclear bombs and the Doomsday Clock, o

Włodzimierz Borodziej and Maciej Górny set out to salvage the historical memory of the experience of war in the lands between Riga and Skopje, beginning with the two Balkan conflicts of 1912–1913 and ending with the death of Emperor Franz Joseph in 1916. The First World War in the East and South-East of Europe was fought by people from a multitude of different nationalities, most of them dressed in the uniforms of three imperial armies: Russian, German, and Austro-Hungarian. In this first volume of Forgotten Wars, the authors chart the origins and outbreak of the First World War, the early battles, and the war's impact on ordinary soldiers and civilians through to the end of the Romanian campaign in December 1916, by which point the Central Powers controlled all of the Balkans except for the Peloponnese. Combining military and social history, the authors make extensive use of eyewitness accounts to describe the traumatic experience that established a region stretching between the Balti
