Memory Fragmentation from Below and Beyond the State Uses of the Past in Conflict and Post-conflict Settings

Memory Fragmentation from Below and Beyond the State Uses of the Past in Conflict and Post-conflict Settings

This volume suggests a model of collective memory that distinguishes between two conceptual logics of memory fragmentation: vertical fragmentation and horizontal fragmentation. It offers a series of case studies of conflict and post-conflict collective memory shedding light on the ways various actors participate in the production dissemination and contestation of memory discourses. With attention to the characteristics of both vertical and horizontal memory fragmentation the book addresses the plurality of diverging and often conflicting memory discourses that are produced within the public sphere of a given community. It analyzes the juxtaposition tensions and interactions between narratives produced beyond or below the central state often transcending national boundaries. The book is structured according to the type of actors involved in a memory fragmentation process. It explores how states have been trying to produce and impose memory discourses on civil societies sometimes even against the experiences of their own citizens and how such efforts as well as backlash from actors below and beyond the state have led to horizontal and vertical memory fragmentation. Furthermore it considers the attempts by states’ representatives to reassert control of national memory discourses and the subsequent resistances they face. As such this volume will appeal to sociology and political science scholars interested in memory studies in post-conflict societies. | Memory Fragmentation from Below and Beyond the State Uses of the Past in Conflict and Post-conflict Settings

Austrian Historical Memory and National Identity

Austrian Historical Memory and National Identity

When the Hapsburg monarchy disintegrated after World War I Austria was not considered to be a viable entity. In a vacuum of national identity the hapless country drifted toward a larger Germany. After World War II Austrian elites constructed a new identity based on being a victim of Nazi Germany. Cold war Austria however envisioned herself as a neutral island of the blessed between and separate from both superpower blocs. Now with her membership in the European Union secured Austria is reconstructing her painful historical memory and national identity. In 1996 she celebrates her 1000-year anniversary. In this volume of Contemporary Austrian Studies Franz Mathis and Brigitte Mazohl-Wallnig argue that regional identities in Austria have deeper historical roots than the many artificial and ineffective attempts to construct a national identity. Heidemarie Uhl Anton Pelinka and Brigitte Bailer discuss the post-World War II construction of the victim mythology. Robert Herzstein analyses the crucial impact of the 1986 Waldheim election imploding Austria's comforting historical memory as a nation of victims. Wolfram Kaiser shows Austria's difficult adjustments to the European Union and the larger challenges of constructing a new European identity. Chad Berry's analysis of American World War II memory establishes a useful counterpoint to construction of historical memory in a different national context. A special forum on Austrian intelligence studies presents a fascinating reconstruction by Timothy Naftali of the investigation by Anglo-American counterintelligence into the retreat of Hitler's troops into the Alps during World War II. Rudiger Overmans' research note presents statistics on lower death rates of Austrian soldiers in the German army. Review essays by Gunther Kronenbitter and Gunter Bischof book reviews and a 1995 survey of Austrian politics round out the volume. Austrian Historical Memory and National Identity will be of intense interest to foreign policy analysts historians and scholars concerned with the unique elements of identity and nationality in Central European politics.

The “Socialist Transformation” of Memory Reversing Chinese History through “Pernicious-Vestiges” Media Discourse

The “Socialist Transformation” of Memory Reversing Chinese History through “Pernicious-Vestiges” Media Discourse

Through discourse analysis and a historical comparison of “Pernicious-Vestiges” narratives in the news text of People’s Daily this book is devoted to revealing primary metaphors of “Pernicious-Vestiges” and political functions in China. “Pernicious-Vestiges” (Yí Dú 遗毒) is one of the most frequently used words in contemporary Chinese historical narration as well as a constantly changing rhetorical direction in New China’s media discourse whose function is to remold memory. Over the past 76 years the “Pernicious-Vestiges” narrative continuously constructed by People’s Daily the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party have reflected the views of China’s political elite and represented the ruling party’s evaluation and reevaluation of historical events. The findings of this book challenge the myth that memory is naturally superior to forgetting reflect on the ethics of memory in “Pernicious-Vestiges” narratives and the erasure of their own justice and suggest that the critical space compressed by “Pernicious-Vestiges” narratives should be returned to restore the order of memory and historical reflection. This book will be an excellent read for students and scholars of Chinese studies media studies and those who are interested in political communication and collective memory in general. | The “Socialist Transformation” of Memory Reversing Chinese History through “Pernicious-Vestiges” Media Discourse

Memory and Healing Neurocognitive and Psychodynamic Perspectives on How Patients and Psychotherapists Remember

Memory and Healing Neurocognitive and Psychodynamic Perspectives on How Patients and Psychotherapists Remember

This book addresses the current demand to apply findings in neuroscience to a broad spectrum of psychotherapy practices. It offers clear formulations for what has long been missing in how psychotherapists present their work: research-based descriptions of specific memory functions and attention to the role that synaptic plasticity and neural integration play in making lasting psychological change possible. The book provides a detailed perspective on how patients integrate into their own narratives what transpires in their treatment and how the clinician's memory guides the different phases of the process of healing. Long-neglected in psychotherapeutic formulations findings about memory-in particular episodic and autobiographical memory-have a direct bearing on what happens in treatments. Whether the information is about the recent past such as what happened between sessions or about traumatic childhood experiences the patient's disclosures are in the service of a more complete narrative about self. At the same time the therapist's ways of remembering what occurs in each therapeutic relationship will guide much of the healing process for the patient. | Memory and Healing Neurocognitive and Psychodynamic Perspectives on How Patients and Psychotherapists Remember

Patriotic History and the (Re)Nationalization of Memory

Patriotic History and the (Re)Nationalization of Memory

This book charts and traces state-mandated or state-encouraged “patriotic” histories that have recently emerged in many places around the globe. Such “patriotic” histories can revolve around both affirmative interpretations of the past and celebration of national achievements. They can also entail explicitly denialist stances against acknowledging responsibility for past atrocities even to the extent of celebrating perpetrators. Whereas in some cases “patriotic” history takes the shape of a coherent doctrine in others they remain limited to loosely connected narratives. By combining nationalist and narcissist narratives and by disregarding or distorting historical evidence “patriotic” history promotes mythified monumental and moralistic interpretations of the past that posit partisan and authoritarian essentialisms and exceptionalisms. Whereas the global debates in interdisciplinary memory studies revolve around concepts like cosmopolitan global multidirectional relational transcultural and transnational memory to mention but a few the actual socio-political uses of history remain strikingly nation-centred and one-dimensional. This volume collects fifteen caste studies of such “nationalizations of history” ranging from China to the Baltic states. They highlight three features of this phenomenon: the ruthlessness of methods applied by many state authorities to impose certain interpretations of the past the increasing discrepancy between professional and political approaches to collective memory and the new “post-truth” context. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of international politics the radical right and global history. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Genocide Research. | Patriotic History and the (Re)Nationalization of Memory

Archiving Caribbean Identity Records Community and Memory

Archiving Caribbean Identity Records Community and Memory

Archiving Caribbean Identity highlights the Caribbeanization of archives in the region considering what those archives could include in the future and exploring the potential for new records in new formats. Interpreting records in the broadest sense the 15 chapters in this volume explore a wide variety of records that represent new archival interpretations. The book is split into two parts with the first part focusing on record forms that are not generally considered archival in traditional Western practice. The second part explores more traditional archival collections and demonstrates how these collections are analysed and presented from the perspective of Caribbean peoples. As a whole the volume suggests how colonial records can be repurposed to surface Caribbean narratives. Reflecting on the unique challenges faced by developing countries as they approach their archives the volume considers how to identify and archive records in the forms and formats that reflect the postcolonial and decolonized Caribbean how to build an archive of the people that documents contemporary society and reflects Caribbean memory and how to repurpose the colonial archives so that they assist the Caribbean in reclaiming its history. Archiving Caribbean Identity demonstrates how non-textual cultural traces function as archival records and how folk-centred perspectives disrupt conventional understandings of records. The book should thus be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of archives memory culture history sociology and the colonial and postcolonial experience. | Archiving Caribbean Identity Records Community and Memory

Pro refrigerio animae: Death and Memory in East-Central Europe Fourteenth-Nineteenth Centuries

Pro refrigerio animae: Death and Memory in East-Central Europe Fourteenth-Nineteenth Centuries

The historiography of death memory and testamentary practices is already abundant in Western Europe and a fairly large number of extra-European regions. For East-Central Europe there are many short studies in various regional languages mainly on anthropological/ethnographic aspects of the funeral rituals. This is an edited collection of studies by international scholars on the interlocking themes of attitudes and discourses on death commemorative practices and inheritance/testamentary strategies in the Balkans and East-Central Europe. These and other related themes are addressed comparatively and cover areas including Albania Bulgaria Romania Greece and areas of the former Yugoslavia Hungary and Austria from the perspective of imperial – Ottoman and Habsburg – legacies. Pro refrigerio animae: Death and Memory in East-Central Europe contributes to this subject by: linking anthropological/religious/cultural approaches to death to the legal/economic aspects of inheritance/commemoration; adding a still absent East-Central European and Habsburg Balkan and Ottoman dimension to the study of death memorialization and testaments; and presenting an abundant primary and secondary material in English translation and thus placing research on death and testaments by East-Central and Greek scholars within the international scholarly circuit. | Pro refrigerio animae: Death and Memory in East-Central Europe Fourteenth-Nineteenth Centuries

Anti-Fascism and Ethnic Minorities History and Memory in Central and Eastern Europe

Anti-Fascism and Ethnic Minorities History and Memory in Central and Eastern Europe

Anti-Fascism and Ethnic Minorities explores how and to what extent fascist ultranationalism elicited an anti-fascist response among ethnic minority communities in Eastern and Central Europe. The edited volume analyses how identities related to class ethnicity gender and political ideologies were negotiated within and between minorities through confrontations with domestic and international fascism. By developing and expanding the study of Jewish anti-fascism and resistance to other minority responses the book opens the field of anti-fascism studies for a broader comparative approach. The volume is thematically located in Central and Eastern Europe cutting right across the continent from Finland in the North to Albania in the Southeast. The case studies in the 14 research chapters are divided into five thematic sections dealing with the issues of (1) minorities in borderlands and cross-border antifascism (2) minorities navigating the ideological squeeze between communism and fascism (3) the role of intellectuals in the defence of minority rights (4) the anti-fascist resistance against fascist and Nazi occupation during World War II and (5) the conflictual role ascribed to ethnicity in post-war memory politics and commemorations. The editors describe their intersectional approach to the analysis of ethnicity as a crucial category of analysis with regard to anti-fascist histories and memories. The book offers scholars and students valuable historical and comparative perspectives on minority studies Jewish studies borderland studies and memory studies. It will appeal to those with an interest in the history of race and racism fascism and anti-fascism and Central and Eastern Europe. | Anti-Fascism and Ethnic Minorities History and Memory in Central and Eastern Europe

Autobiography Memory and Nationhood in Anglophone Africa

Autobiography Memory and Nationhood in Anglophone Africa

This book provides an important critical analysis of the autobiographies of nine major leaders of national liberation movements in Africa.

This is the first book to demonstrate how mnemotechnic cultural commonplaces can be used to account for the look style and authorized content of some of the most influential books produced in early modern Britain. In his hybrid role as stationer publisher entrepreneur and author John Day master printer of England’s Reformation produced the premier navigation handbook state-approved catechism and metrical psalms Book of Martyrs England’s first printed emblem book and Queen Elizabeth’s Prayer Book. By virtue of finely honed book trade skills dogged commitment to evangelical nation-building and astute business acumen (including going after those who infringed his privileges) Day mobilized the typographical imaginary to establish what amounts to—and still remains—a potent and viable Protestant Memory Art. | The Printer as Author in Early Modern English Book History John Day and the Fabrication of a Protestant Memory Art

Emotion and the Psychodynamics of the Cerebellum A Neuro-Psychoanalytic Analysis and Synthesis

Emotion and the Psychodynamics of the Cerebellum A Neuro-Psychoanalytic Analysis and Synthesis

This is a book about cognition emotion memory and learning. Along the way it examines exactly how implicit memory (knowing how) and explicit memory (knowing that) are connected with each other via the cerebellum. Since emotion is also related to memory and most likely one of its organising features many fields of human endeavour have attempted to clarify its fundamental nature including its relationship to metaphor problem-solving learning and many other variables. This is an attempt to pull together the various strands relating to emotions so that clinicians and researchers alike can identify precisely and ultimately agree upon what emotion is and how it contributes to the other known activities of mind and brain. | Emotion and the Psychodynamics of the Cerebellum A Neuro-Psychoanalytic Analysis and Synthesis

History and Legacy of the Suffragette Fellowship Calling all Women

History and Legacy of the Suffragette Fellowship Calling all Women

History and Legacy of the Suffragette Fellowship provides a biographical account of the scope and depth of the memory work of the now-forgotten commemorative group the Suffragette Fellowship active from the 1920s to the 1970s. The Suffragette Fellowship comprised members from the militant suffrage groups known as the Women’s Social and Political Union the Women’s Freedom League and the Actress Franchise League.

Between the Psyche and the Polis Refiguring History in Literature and Theory

Between the Psyche and the Polis Refiguring History in Literature and Theory

This title was first published in 2000. Incorporating studies of Freudian and Marxist approaches to questions of history and memory this timely collection illuminates how history is being refigured in contemporary literary cultural and theoretical studies. The contributors to this volume invite the reader to attend to the forms - linguistic visual monumental - by which a connection with or separation from the past takes place. It is current thinking about memory's relationship to history and the ongoing critical reassessment of historicism that preoccupies this collection. The volume explores the ways in which current thinking about the past operates within a dialogic space and can be located in relation to multiple perspectives. Thus cultural memory can be seen not just as a recent development within the field of cultural studies but as constructing a between-space which also draws in aspects of psychoanalysis. Similarly trauma theory may usefully be conceptualized as operating in a rich and complex dynamic between deconstruction and the work of Freud. Temporality memory and the past are attended to here in terms of the dislocations of narrative of resistances to linear genealogies to aid the reader in making unanticipated connections between theories and cultures and between the demands of the psyche and the polis. | Between the Psyche and the Polis Refiguring History in Literature and Theory

The Legacies of Soviet Repression and Displacement The Multiple and Mobile Lives of Memories

The Legacies of Soviet Repression and Displacement The Multiple and Mobile Lives of Memories

This book explores the ways in which memories of Stalin-era repression and displacement manifest across times and places through diverse forms of materialization. The chapters of the book explore the concrete mobilities of life stories letters memoirs literature objects and bodies reflecting Soviet repression and violence across borders of geographical locations historical periods and affective landscapes. These spatial temporal and psychological shifts are explored further as processes of textual circulation and mediation. By offering novel multi-sited and multi-media analyses of the creative political societal cultural and intimate implications of remembrance the collection contributes fresh interdisciplinary perspectives to both the field of memory studies and the study of Soviet repression. The case studies in this collection focus on the personal autobiographical and intimate representations experiences and practices related to the remembrance of Stalinist repression and displacement as they are mediated through memoirs fiction interviews and versatile commemorative practices. Taken together the book asks: what happens to memories life stories testimonies and experiences when they travel in time and space and between media and are (re)interpreted and (re)formulated through these transfers? What kinds of memorial forms are gained through processes of mediation? What types of spaces for remembering telling and feeling are created negotiated and contested through these shifts? What are the boundaries and intersections of intimate familial community national and transnational memories? By analytically contextualizing the various case studies within broader memory discourses in a range of geographical and political contexts the book offers rich and multilayered interpretations of the enduring ramifications of communist repression. The collection demonstrates that these multiply moving memories not only reflect Eastern European memory culture but also reach far beyond and have transnational and transgenerational significance. As such this timely book will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the former Soviet Union or memory studies more broadly.
