Abstract

Abstract:

In the summer of 1921, the Greek armies had succeeded in occupying part of Greece's claimed territories in Asia Minor. Although the outcome of the Greco-Turkish war had yet to be decided, the Greek minister of military affairs proposed that a public war memorial park be constructed in Athens, a park-monument where the Asia Minor locations under Greek control would be presented metonymically. The project, visualized on a detailed map, foresaw the transport of ancient Greek antiquities from Asia Minor and their selective positioning in the park so as to create a spatio-temporal miscellany. In the proposed memorial park, space, time, and Greek antiquity were to produce a new locus, a memoryscape, that went beyond existing frontiers and outside experienced time. The plan to create a cultural mnemonic marker monumentalizing the Asia Minor Campaign sought not only to shape the national identity but also to proclaim and promote Greece's demand for annexation of the Asia Minor territories.

真实与理想:作为记忆景观和集体记忆政治的小亚细亚远征实地
摘要:1921 年夏,希腊军队成功占领了希腊在小亚细亚的部分领土。虽然希腊-土耳其战争的结果尚未确定,但希腊军事部长提议在雅典建造一个公共战争纪念公园,将希腊控制下的小亚细亚地区作为公园纪念碑。该项目在一张详细的地图上形象化地描绘了从小亚细亚运来的古希腊文物,并有选择性地将其放置在公园中,以创造一个时空杂集。在拟建的纪念公园中,空间、时间和希腊古物将产生一个新的地点,一个记忆景观,它超越了现有的疆界和经验时间。创建一个纪念小亚细亚战役的文化记忆标记的计划不仅是为了塑造民族身份,也是为了宣扬和促进希腊吞并小亚细亚领土的要求。
