We’re one short for the crossing: Abbey Road and popular memory

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

One of the most understated debates within contemporary cultural studies is popular memory. Requiring radical interdisciplinary work, and a diverse array of textual sites, it remains a challenge for the theorist. This piece takes a cultural text -the wall encircling Abbey Road studios in London - and explores how fans inscribe their memories and meanings on its surface.
