Such collective  memories are not a preservative for historically accurate recall of bygone events  but rather readings of the past subject to contemporary interpretations and  political pressure. The adoption of political symbolism remains central to  subsequent events. Indeed, in Northern Ireland, both communities hold their  conflicting ‘memories’ dear and, importantly, rival political organizations have  invested much in their own reading of the causes of the outbreak and continuation  of the conflict. Set alongside constant exposure to other forms of discourse,  texts, songs, prose and more visible physical manifestations – such as murals,  commemorative gardens, personal tattoos, and even gravestones – there are a  multitude of ways of reminding people of particular memories, community  histories and interpretations of events, and of providing the background within  which attitudes are formed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-01-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031476747\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-47675-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 278.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45588216545420,"sku":"9783031476747","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031476747_d2417263-9407-44eb-ab4a-59cdc0482b1b.jpg?v=1767272382","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031476747","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
