Archives, monuments, celebrations:there are not merely the
recollections of memory but also the foundations of history.
Symbols, the third and final volume in Pierre Nora's monumental
Realms of Memory, includes groundbreaking discussions of the
emblems of France's past by some of the nation's most distinguished
intellectuals. The seventeen essays in this book consider such
diverse "sites" of memory as the figures of Joan D'Arc and
Decartes, the national motto of "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity",
the tricolor flag and the French language itself. Pierre Nora's
closing essay on commemoration provides a culminating overview of
the series. Offering a new approach on history, culture, French
studies and the studies of symbols, Realms of Memory reveals how
the myriad meanings we attach to places and events constitute our
sense of history.
