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

Information Processing in Animals Memory Mechanisms

Information Processing in Animals Memory Mechanisms

First published in 1982. During the past fifty years dramatic changes have occurred in the use of laboratory animals to study learning and memory. Yet the basic reasons for this research diverse as they are have not changed. At one extreme is the need for relatively direct application of findings with animal models to medical or educational problems of humans; at the other extreme the quest for understanding animal behavior for its own sake. It is probably fair to say that no chapters in this book represent either of these extremes although in each case the author’s purposes can be said to be like those of some scientists working in this area fifty years ago. In contrast to this continuity of purpose the approach that scientists now take in this area of study is really quite different from that of most or all scientists in the 1930s. | Information Processing in Animals Memory Mechanisms

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

Adaptive Reuse in Latin America Cultural Identity Values and Memory

Adaptive Reuse in Latin America Cultural Identity Values and Memory

This book seeks to explore the theoretical and architectural connections between memory values cultural identity and adaptive reuse in Latin America. It does so by critically analyzing ideas and works within the context from where they emerge. With rich and layered historic centers a wealth of colonial and 19th-century buildings and the heritage from the modern era Latin America offers a unique architectural patrimony and its contribution and impact on contemporary culture and architecture still require critical study and discussion. The chapters of this timely book consider the conflicted relationship between colonialism native cultures and immigration. It also explores the connections between modern projects and national identity and contemporary interventions serving the needs of diverse societies while being cultural receptacles of memory. While most books on adaptive reuse focus on the larger general concepts different technical approaches and case studies this book will contribute to the study of adaptive reuse moving away from Europe and North America focusing instead on cases in Brazil Mexico Argentina Ecuador and Peru. This book is an important resource for researchers and students in the area of architecture cultural global and design studies heritage geography sociology and history. | Adaptive Reuse in Latin America Cultural Identity Values 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. By examining their self-narratives we can better understand how decolonisation unfolded and how activist-politicians sought to immortalise their roles for posterity. Focusing on the autobiographies of Peter Abrahams Albert Luthuli Ruth First and Nelson Mandela (South Africa) Nnamdi Azikiwe (Nigeria) Kenneth Kaunda (Zambia) George Mwase (Malawi) Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana) Maurice Nyagumbo (Zimbabwe) and Oginga Odinga (Kenya) the book uncovers the social and cultural forces which galvanized the anti-colonial resistance movement in African societies. In particular the book explores the disdain for foreign domination economic exploitation and cultural imperialism. It delves into themes of African cultural sovereignty before the colonial encounter the disruptive presence of colonialism the nationalist ferment against European imperial domination the achievement of political autonomy by African nation-states and the corpus of contradictions which attended postcolonial becoming. With important insights on how these key historical figures navigated the process of self-determining nationhood in Africa this book will be of interest to researchers of African literature history and politics. | Autobiography Memory and Nationhood in Anglophone Africa
