Productive Remembering and Social Agency examines how memory can be understood, used and interpreted in forward-looking directions in education to support agency and social change. The edited collection features contributions from established and new scholars who take up the idea of productive remembering across diverse contexts, positioning the work at the cutting edge of research and practice. Contexts range across geographical locations (Canada, China, Rwanda, South Africa) and across critical social issues, from HIV & AIDS to the legacy of genocide and Indian residential schools, from issues of belonging, place, and media to interrogations of identity. This interdisciplinary collection is relevant not only to education itself but also to memory studies and related disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

This fascinating and original book argues that slow time is an increasingly scarce resource in the information age. Using a wealth of examples, *Tyranny of the Moment*, takes a cool, diagnostic look at this 'hurried era'. It shows how phenomena such as soap operas, correspondence, youth culture, advertising and 'flexible work' are connected to the same logic, based on information technology, and how they link up with the history of modern society. At the same time, it indicates that there are deep contradictions in technology-driven contemporary society. Who would have expected apparently time-saving technology, from the filofax to e-mail and the mobile phone, to result in time being scarcer than ever? Since we are now theoretically 'on line' 24 hours a day, we must fight for the right to be unavailable - the right to live and think more slowly. Eriksen considers the main cause of the problem as the exponential growth in everything to do with communication - from web pages to air traffic. The result is potentially devastating, as life in western societies threatens to desintegrate into disjointed and incoherent fragments.
