- Abstract
- (en) Over the past ten years, Memory Studies has become a multidisciplinary field based primarily in the English-speaking world and in many European countries. This article aims to show how intermediality acts as a “field operator” allowing us to better trace the linkages currently constituting the area of Memory Studies. In its first part, the article explains how the use of the intermedial method enables us to distinguish Memory Studies from the studies of memory practiced in France. While Memory Studies uses intermedial theory to develop a decentralized approach to memory,focusing on dynamics of transfer and displacement, French studies of memory seem to privilege a media perspective related to a more static, patrimonial, and territorial approach. In its second part, the article considers different conceptions of intermediality currently at play in the field of Memory Studies. Despite numerous references to the work of Bolter and Grusin, Memory Studies seem to suffer from a lack of theorization about intermediality. Media thus occupy a paradoxical place within the field, since they are at the centre of the memory chessboard, but at the same time, they are relatively little analyzed as such.
