Reframing remembrance examines films about the Nazi Occupation of
France, charting how this period has been commemorated and how it
has affected the articulation of French national identity. The book
proposes that 1995 marked the beginning of a new approach to
commemoration, reflected by socio-political acts, such as Jacques
Chirac's July 1995 Vel' d'Hiv speech, and artistic acts, most
notably films set during the Occupation. This is an approach that
embraces critical engagement with history and its retelling. With
relevance to countries beyond France and events far removed from
the Second World War, Reframing remembrance highlights the need for
ongoing, honest remembrance and self-reflection as cultural
representations of history continue to shape contemporary views
about nations' identities and their global responsibilities. -- .
