| Summary: | ABSTRACT: The following review-article deals with three publications that have been
released in recent years, all of which can be read in the context of memory studies
through the mention of memory in their titles. It is evident that memory studies has
become a field of research that ranges from the humanities to the social sciences
to the natural sciences, with the only common denominator being the object of study
of memory. But what memory is, how memory is constituted, or how it can be analyzed
or even made measurable is where the publications discussed differ strikingly. The
aim of this review is therefore not to place the three publications in a singular
context but rather, by discussing their differences, to show how diverse memory studies
is as a field and to present what the breadth of different approaches that look beyond
oneʼs own disciplinary boundaries can offer regarding the future engagement with memory
in Scandinavian studies and especially in Scandinavian medieval studies.
