The metadata for this entry could not be matched to a real, identifiable book. "Cultural Memory in the Present" is the name of a Stanford University Press book series, not a standalone title, so no verified summary of a specific book by this name and these details can be given here.
A search could not confirm a book by Niklas Luhmann titled "Cultural Memory in the Present" published by Stanford University Press in 2000. "Cultural Memory in the Present" is the name of a long-running Stanford University Press series (associated with editors including Mieke Bal and Hent de Vries) that has carried many different authors' titles, not a book title in its own right. Luhmann did publish a book with Stanford University Press in 2000, Art as a Social System, translated by Eva M. Knodt, and some sources place that book within the Cultural Memory in the Present series, which may be the source of the confusion. Because this could not be confirmed with certainty from the citation alone, no description of either book's actual content is asserted here as the description for this entry; the original citation is kept as given. Credits: Luhmann, N. (2000). Cultural memory in the present. Stanford, California: Stanford University Press.
