Abstract
This paper addresses some crucial categories in contemporary practices
of memorialisation and public sculpture, including the polarities
of “abstraction / figuration” and “transitivity / intransitivity” and the
questions of anthropomorphism and embodiment. Referring to paradigmatic
cases belonging to different media—sculpture, architecture,
video installations—and comparing different memorialistic subjects
(the Holocaust memorials, the Italian fascist sacraria, the monuments
dedicated to the Vietnam war), the chapter investigates the dialectics of
presence and absence in the relationship between the present material
body of the monument and the absent bodies evoked by the process of
memorialisation.
