Memory, Images, Transmission

Writer, scholar, and thinker on memory, postmemory, photography, and visual culture.

For more than four decades, Marianne Hirsch’s work has explored how memory is transmitted across generations through images, stories, archives, and acts of witnessing. Her writings examine the relationship between personal histories and collective memory, with particular attention to photography, visual culture, trauma, migration, and the afterlives of history.
