Overview
- Provides a new set of analytical tools to explore the social and cultural afterlives of social movements and protest
- Moves beyond a text-based focus on narratives and identities to analyse how circulations of protest pasts travel through discursive, material, embodied and affective states
- Offers an insight into the methodologies needed to track activist and social movement memories across time and space, and to understand their complex entanglements and meanings
- Brings together insights from memory studies, social movement studies, gender, heritage, and media and cultural studies scholarship to outline a vibrant new research agenda for activist memory studies

About this book
Central case studies track repeated invocations to militant suffragettes and the We Can Do It! post-feminist icon over time and space. Assembling interviews, archival research and ethnographic accounts with provocative examples drawn from postfeminist media culture, a UNESCO heritage bid, protest at the London 2012 Olympic Games, and activist remembrance in zines and blogs, this is a broad-ranging study of ‘restless’ feminist pasts – both real and imagined. Richly researched and argued, this volume offers an original framework of ‘assemblage memory’ and sets out a new research agenda for the intersections between everyday activism, protest, and memory practices.
