Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive literature review of mediated memory research from the 1950s to the 2010s, examining how memory is stored, represented, and communicated through various media. It reveals a dual-sided representation of memory: neurological-cognitive science focusing on technological representation, and humanities/social science highlighting cultural representation through digital media. The review identifies three distinct research trajectories: the physiological mechanisms of memory (1950s-70s), the interaction between memory and digital mass media (1980s-2000s), and the interdisciplinary fusion of these perspectives (2000s-2010s). The paper advocates for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to advance our understanding of how memory is shaped and represented in the digital age.
