Journal Memory, Mind & Media | Special Collection After Memory
The Journal Memory, Mind & Media (MMM) invites contributions for a special collection themed "After Memory: Shifting Perceptions of Time and Temporality in the Digital Condition".
This issue seeks to examine how practices of remembering and forgetting are being transformed by information overload, algorithmic narratives, ephemeral archives, and networked patterns of consumption and interaction—and what these transformations mean for how we engage with the past, live in the present, and imagine potential futures. Beyond established theories and hegemonic perspectives, we particularly encourage contributions that examine alternative, marginalised, speculative, and practice-based approaches to the dynamics shaping memory.
Submission
The journal welcomes theoretical, empirical, speculative and practice-based contributions with interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives. Please send an abstract (250-350 words) in English stating the medium of the contribution (written, visual, sonic, etc.), author(s), and affiliation(s) (institutional or independent) to opencall@aftermemory.net.
The submission deadline is 15 December 2025.
Decisions regarding abstract proposals will be communicated to authors in January 2026. Invited full manuscript submissions will begin on 1st April 2026, and continue until the Special Collection concludes.
More information is available on the call website.
