The Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society (JEMMS)

Permanent URI for this collectionhttps://repository.gei.de/handle/11428/72

The Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society (JEMMS) explores ways in which knowledge of past and present societies is constituted and conveyed via formal and informal educational media within and beyond schools. Its focus is on various types of texts and images found in textbooks, museums, memorials, films and digital media. Of particular interest are conceptions of time and space, image formation, forms of representation, as well as the construction of meaning and identity (ethnic, national, regional, religious, institutional and gendered). The contents of educational media may also be examined in relation to their production and appropriation in institutional, sociocultural, political, economic and historical contexts. The journal is international and interdisciplinary and welcomes empirically based contributions from the humanities and social sciences dealing with all aspects of educational media research, including STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) as well as theoretical and methodological studies.
Two years after publication, post-peer review pre-copy edited versions of articles will be made available on Edumeres for downloading. Official print versions are available on the website of Berghahn Journals.

    Writing Syrian History while Propagating Arab Nationalism. Textbooks about Modern Arab History under Hafiz and Bashar al-Asad
    (New York: Berghahn, 2014-06-06) Bolliger, Monika
    This article argues that Syrian history textbooks promote the formation of Syrian national identity although their explicit objective is to propagate Arab nationalism. The authors’ attempt to construct the history of an imagined Arab nation encompassing the whole of the Arab world in fact tells the story of different nation-states. Syrian students are therefore confronted with rival geographical spheres of national imagination. Changes in the new textbooks under Bashar al-Asad1 reveal increased Syrian patriotism, a will to comply with globalization, and attempts to maintain Arab nationalism.
