Editorial teamColloquy editorial 2017 <div>Issue 15 of Colloquy: text theory critique comes in a new format that we think presents the best of both worlds – it combines both general articles and a themed section (albeit a short one, on this occasion). For the foreseeable future, this will be the format for Colloquy – twice a year, with a special theme each issue and space for general articles to boot. This change is made in response to demand and means that we offer post-graduate students from institutions both local and abroad the opportunity to submit their work in line with a Call for Papers or in regards to their own specific areas of research. As well as this Colloquy offers the possibility of publishing new translations (this issue contains a Spanish poem), review articles, book reviews, creative pieces, and opinion essays (another new section, with a focus this issue on matters of faith and/or speculative philosophy). We believe that this makes Colloquy a uniquely vibrant and valuable tool for postgraduate and early career researcher publication.</div><div>The themed section of Issue 15 draws from papers presented at the recent German Studies Association of Australia conference titled Erinnerungskrise / Crisis of Memory. With an explosion of interest in the concept of memory (Erinnerung and Gedächtnis) in recent years, the three postgraduate papers published in this issue consider a range of new concepts including post Holocaust memory and traumatic memory, and their interplay with literature, history and the human experience.</div>
