Through case studies from Europe and Russia, this volume analyses
memorials as a means for the present to make claims on the past in
the aftermath of armed conflict. The central contention is that
memorials are not backward-looking, inert reminders of past events,
but instead active triggers of personal and shared emotion, that
are inescapably political, bound up with how societies reconstruct
their present and future as they negotiate their way out of (and
sometimes back into) conflict. A central aim of the book is to
highlight and illustrate the cultural and ethical complexity of
memorials, as focal points for a tension between the notion of
memory as truth, and the practice of memory as negotiable. By
adopting a relatively bounded temporal and spatial scope, the
volume seeks to move beyond the established focus on national
traditions, to reveal cultural commonalities and shared influences
in the memorial forms and practices of individual regions and of
particular conflicts.
