This book seeks to advance the discussion about the role of media in conflict memory work. In recent years the 'connective turn' has 'unmoored' memory from traditional institutions, replacing it with a searchable 'memory of the multitude' online. The automated systems of online platforms like Facebook 'dig' for memories on behalf of their users. Historical photographs shared on photo sharing sites like Instagram facilitate informal learning about events such as the Holocaust among younger generations. This has empowered a new generation of memory activists who leverage the affordances of online platforms for commemoration rituals. More recently, apps like Telegram have made it easier to document human rights violations during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, whilst simultaneously creating a curated, unsanitized 'war feed' for global audiences. The chapters in this collection explore how both analogue and digital media have been used to shape collective memories of conflicts in countries including Brazil, Israel-Palestine, Nigeria, Portugal and Ukraine.
