The concluding chapter draws connections between the case studies presented in the volume and postulates some of the directions that the study of memory of the neoliberal turn may take in the future. First, it proposes to see the neoliberal turn in terms of liminal social change, specific to late modernity, where ruptures and reinventions become a norm of restructuring social life. The memories that have emerged from the neoliberal turn have contributed to this restructuring by offering new templates of possibility as well as modes of resistance to those templates. Second, it points to regions of memory of the neoliberal turn. These should not be seen as a single mnemonic space shaped by a specific transnational event but rather as multiple discourses and representations that display various temporalities, agencies and emotional structures.
