{"product_id":"9783111349862","title":"The Internment Ordeal in a Post-Truth World : Contemporary Narratives of the Japanese American Incarceration (Media and Cultural Memory)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis interdisciplinary series addresses the relation between media and cultural memory. Its publications study how media construct, store, and disseminate memory. The series' focus is on different media and technologies, such as text and image, the cinema and the new digital media, on transmediality, intermediality, and remediation, as well as on the social (and increasingly transnational and transcultural) contexts of mediated memory. The aim of the series is to provide a vibrant international platform for research and scholarly exchange in the field of media and memory studies. Manuscripts submitted to the series are peer reviewed by expert referees.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe volume explores how contemporary representations of the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II are reshaping the collective memory of that painful experience, while at the same time implicitly offering a commentary on current limitations of human and civil rights in the United States. One of the worst cases of violation of civil liberties against an ethnic group in the history of the country, the Japanese American internment has recently become the subject of a renewed interest both in literature and in other popular media. With their rendition of events, twenty-first century authors and artists are offering a new, enriching, and more inclusive understanding of the incarceration experience, both in order to broaden the comprehension of that event and highlight how it is still relevant today. By analyzing works of literary fiction, memoirs, TV series, and graphic novels, this monograph argues that contemporary literature and other media play a significant role in the development of a new conversation about the internment experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNicolangelo Becce\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of American Literature at Roma Tre University (Italy).
