ABSTRACT
Global memory space challenges the nation-state as the legitimate container of collective memories, and freed from national borders, memories become entangled, cohabitated, reconciled, contested, conflicted and negotiated across borders. Entangled memories in the global memory space do not appear as distinct entities, but are ambivalent, liminal and complicated. This chapter provides the mnemonic confluence of memories in atrocities as European colonial genocide, the Holocaust, Stalinist crimes in Eastern Europe, comfort women in East Asia, American slavery and the "stolen generations" of indigenous people in Australia. On an academic level, the spatial turn in global memory has also been accompanied by the paradigmatic turn of transdisciplinarity. By facilitating the shift of memory practice in the global memory space from (re)territorialisation to de-territorialisation, transnational memory formation contributes to consolidating the mnemonic solidarity of humanity on a global level.
