Abstract:The centennial of José Martí's birth and the construction of monuments and buildings dedicated to his memory in Havana's Civic Plaza in 1953 continued a long-standing tradition of utilizing the martyr's memory to fit the priorities of the Cuban state. This article focuses on how this and other celebrations in commemoration of Cuba's War of Independence heroes that were held during the illegitimate regime of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista (1952–58) reflected the dictator's claim that his 1952 coup was a unique and authentic "revolution" but also became contested spaces where Cuba's social and political actors asserted their rights as faithful interpreters of Cuba's independence struggles and heirs of its heroes.

Abstract:This article examines the mnemonic strategies of the Putin administration in and around the centenary year of the Russian revolution in 2017. Given the contested nature of the Soviet legacy in Russian politics, the Kremlin sought to depoliticize the revolution by playing down the ideological struggles and focusing instead on the turmoil and suffering it had caused to Russians of all classes and convictions. In addition, because the Bolshevik revolution marked a disruptive moment that might contradict President Vladimir Putin's narrative of a Russian "civilizational" identity with roots in the distant past, the Kremlin reframed the revolution, and the Soviet era in general, within a cyclical grand narrative punctuated by "times of troubles" between one regime system and another, which was also applied to the rise of Putin after the chaotic 1990s.

Abstract:This article draws on the contents of the Turkish Cypriot Museum of Barbarism and a Greek Cypriot elementary level schoolbook to show how the image of the home, both personal and collective, can be used as an evocative framework for commemorating the conflict on Cyprus. The inherent familiarity of this image, its deep connection to our identities and its ability to evoke feelings of nostalgia and grief, hope and pain, make it a powerful trope around which memories of the many lives lost in the conflict can be constructed.

Abstract:National heritage, and particularly "difficult" heritage, does not exist in isolation from the heritage of other countries. Russia's relationship to Germany is a salient case in point in the Putin era, in which a more cosmopolitan approach to the history of the Second World War in many European states has been challenged by a reversion to nationalist approaches to this period in Russian memory politics. On the basis of the German-Russian Museum Berlin-Karlshorst, this article explores the possibilities of and limitations to international projects for the development of shared narratives about the past as a phenomenon of cultural diplomacy.

Abstract:History has exchanged ideas, themes, techniques and methods with literature throughout its existence, even though the two domains are commonly viewed as entirely distinct, if not incompatible. The debate over the legitimacy and value of literature as opposed to academic history has recently reemerged with the French press’s quasi-unanimous endorsement of Éric Vuillard’s L’Ordre du jour, a bestselling novel focusing on a few select “behind the scenes” aspects of the Anschluss, yet claiming to offer nothing less than the “real truth” of the Nazis’ rise to power. The present article offers a critical analysis of the assumptions and illusions behind the French press’s largely unreflective enthusiasm for Vuillard’s narrative.
摘要:历史与文学在思想、主题、技术和方法等方面进行了交流，尽管这两个领域通常被认为是完全不同的，甚至是不相容的。最近，法国媒体近乎一致地认可了Éric维亚尔的《每日秩序》(L’ordre du jour)，这是一本畅销书，专注于德国吞并的几个“幕后”方面，但声称它提供了纳粹崛起的“真实真相”，这再次引发了关于文学的合法性和价值的争论。本文批判性地分析了法国媒体对维亚尔叙事毫无反思的热情背后的假设和幻想。

Abstract:The Communist Party of Yugoslavia regarded the interpretation and the commemoration of World War II as one of the most important pillars of the ideology of “brotherhood and unity” and the socialist revolution. Accordingly, the issues of the civil war and the nationality and ethnic identity of the perpetrators and victims were suppressed. The article examines war memorials in the Yugoslav Federal Republic of Croatia to show that following the sociopolitical changes that occurred from the mid-1960s, these previously evaded issues became more prominent in public life and began to jeopardize the official policy of remembrance.

Abstract:Although it is generally considered that there was relatively little interest in the First World War throughout the 1970s and 1980s in Britain, these decades constitute a key moment in time when the embodied memories of the war transitioned into the cultural memory we are familiar with today. This article examines the transmission of memories of the First World War from veterans and their families to museums. It uses the Durham Light Infantry Museum, a small regimental museum in the northeast of England, as a case study to examine who donated war-related objects and their reasons for doing so.

Abstract:The question of how to remember twenty years of insurgency and state violence during the internal armed conflict (1980–2000) continues to polarize the social and political landscape of Peru. Dominant narratives of victims and perpetrators effectively silence more ambiguous and complicated memories. In this article I examine memories of the conflict that have been relegated to the margins of public discourse. Memories that tell stories of victims as perpetrators and perpetrators as victims are “placeless” because they upset a post-conflict order that is constituted by a form of civil contract through which mutual opponents coexist with each other without having to confront a conflicted past. I argue that in order to maintain a status quo, polarization is not merely a byproduct but a condition.
