Although his theory has acquired popularity well beyond its application to the French context, his influential seven-volume series (1984-92) is not without its own shortcomings and failures, which have only occasionally been exposed over the last two decades. It is not until the recent publication of \u003cem\u003ePostcolonial Realms of Memory\u003c\/em\u003e (Liverpool University Press, 2020) that we see an expansive critique of Nora’s own selective memory. Our project seeks to continue challenging Nora’s approach and France’s national narrative by providing space to examine queer lives, cultures and memories. We contend however that those related to queer experiences within France’s collective memory have almost never been addressed. \u003cem\u003eQueer Realms of Memory\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book-length study to question Nora’s lack of engagement with queer French and Francophone cultures and histories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56948154204534,"sku":"9781836245865","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_39378688_aa2e08ac-c0e4-4eab-9fbb-2cd2079d834c.jpg?v=1767864377","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781836245865-queer-realms-of-memory","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
