In the late twentieth- and early twenty-first centuries, interest in memory has become a global phenomenon. It is shared by politicians, academics, and laymen alike. Some observers claim that after the decay of traditional ideologies, the “politics of memory will become a standard of politics as such.” Instrumentalization of memory is characteristic of what is often called a “post-truth age.” The discussion will be focused on the new approaches to memory-related issues in different disciplines, including history, philosophy, cognitive sciences, sociology, anthropology, and political science.
