Today, almost a generation has passed since the Iran-Iraq war and
the memory of it is set to diminish with each passing generation.
The following questions emerge. Can we say that the gradual
disappearance of war's memory means that, increasingly, Iranians
will see the Iran-Iraq war solely as an historical event? How can
we defend or reject this idea? Today, with which elements and
values should we look at the Iran-Iraq war memorials and
ceremonies? To what extent will war museums and materials culture
be influenced by these new values? In the period during and
immediately after the Iran-Iraq war (1980-88), national bereavement
and commemoration of martyrs was neither apparent in common state
policy nor a social need. Even at the turn of the 21st century,
anyone walking through Iranian cities, many of which had been the
main scene of the bloody massacre and direct targets of the Iraqi
Republican Guard, will have found traces of the terrible, almost
unimaginable, human losses. However, today's Iranians can see
modern war memorials and monuments in many parts of the urban and
rural landscape. Yet, at the same time, the changing landscape has
separated Iranians from such remnants of the violence. It can be
argued that many people, in their wish to look forward to a more
hopeful future, do not wish to be reminded of this period in
Iranian history. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Visual Anthropology.
