Media Memory/Media Oblivion: Actualization of the Locuses of the Past

Abstract

The unity of historical memory and its denial always contain the answer to the current situation of the time. The historical memory of the digital age is transformed into media memory, and as such retains its main characteristics — socio-political and cultural actualization, localization in defining the current past. In the public sphere, the presence of media memory/media forgetfulness is short-lived, which indicates a weak effect of the phenomenon on the core culture of society.
