The Social Memory Palace Acknowledgments Notes BibliographyReviewsThis project fills a gap in the current scholarship on the canon of memory, its fascinating inception and history, and implications for re-theorizing it within our contemporary technological context. Long's argument is historically deep and complex, building upon the iconic historical work of luminaries such as Carruthers, Yates, and others. He presents a theory that sees memory not as the isolated processes of brains in jars, but as the dynamic, social, outward-facing practice that has informed rhetorical output since antiquity, and continues to do so today. This is an insightful critique of today's data-driven practices of digital rhetoric, reminding the reader of the subjective, highly malleable set of choices that go into the selection, juxtaposition, combination, and scale of data manipulation. --Ben McCorkle, author of Rhetorical Delivery as Technological Discourse: A Cross-Historical Study Author InformationSeth David Long is assistant professor of English at the University of Nebraska.
