This volume highlights what can be gained from drawing on broad interdisciplinary contexts in pursuing scholarly projects involving cultural memory and associated topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection argues that contemporary evolutionary science, in conjunction with studies interconnecting cognition, affect, and emotion, as well as research on socially mediated memory, provides innovatively interdisciplinary contexts for viewing current work on how cultural and social environments influence gene expression and neural circuitry.

Readers will here be amply rewarded by the range and clarity of the competing frameworks on offer. Leading experts consistently help make sense of this vast terrain even as they help build it and trouble its assumptions. Throughout, literature and the arts help us to think through enactive, evolutionary, and predictive scientific models of mind, memory, and trauma.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard C.

From ancient folk tales to modernist epics and immigrant recipes, storytelling and symbolization support the plasticity and pluralism of cultural memory in search of sustainable worlds. Combining new research in neuroscience and epigenetics with cultural analysis, this volume has profound implications for how we understand and enact consciousness, agency, and collective identity in the face of war, globalization, and the ruins of time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJulia Reinhard Lupton\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eauthor of\u003c\/em\u003e Shakespeare Dwelling: Designs for the Theater of Life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book represents an audacious attempt to integrate cultural knowledge into a general neuro-cognitive model of human knowledge.
