The Influence of Cultural Memory on Representation in Postcolonial Literature

Abstract

This paper examines the influence of cultural memory on representation in postcolonial literature. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from memory studies and postcolonial theory, the paper explores how postcolonial writers utilize the concept of cultural memory to represent the experiences of individuals and communities living with the legacy of colonialism. The paper analyzes how cultural memory shapes narratives, identities, and the construction of historical knowledge, demonstrating its complex and multifaceted impact on postcolonial literary representation.
