Gruppen bildades i december 2009, genom en sammanslagning av Narrativitetsgruppen respektive Minnesgruppen som båda bildades omkring 2002. I forskargruppen ingår forskare från ämnena engelska (med litteraturvetenskaplig såväl som lingvistisk inriktning), litteraturvetenskap, interkultur samt kulturstudier. Därtill är doktorandseminariet inom ämnena engelska och litteraturvetenskap knutet till KuFo.
