Media Curation as a Practice of Memory: Situational Analysis of Youth’s Mnemonic Practices

Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on the modalities of transmission of history-related knowledge to a current young generation (12–25 years old). Data from 11 focus groups with pupils and students of schools at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels were used to analyse situations of knowledge transmission with regard to four significant historical events: September 11th 2001, November 17th 1989, August 21th 1968 and February 25th 1948. The study introduces media curation as a senzitizing concept suitable for grapsing the selective dimension of mnemonic practices. The analysis is focused on aspects of expert, social, or data-based curation in situations where mnemonic content is transmitted. This analytical instrument is used in the study to account for situations in which mnemonic practices of the informants take place.
