Why do certain places and not others symbolically capture the past
and freeze time? Likewise, why does the process of memory, as a
fluid and changing activity, seem to prevent its own
solidification? Memory and Representation in Contemporary Europe
reflects not only on the persistence of the past as a theme linked
to modernity, media and time, but also discusses the politics of
memory within a changing Europe. Drawing on the theoretical work of
Hannah Arendt, Isaiah Berlin and Zygmunt Bauman, Siobhan Kattago
uses examples from both Germany and Estonia in order to address the
multiple layers of Europe's totalitarian past. Through reflecting
on the legacy of totalitarianism and the revolutions of 1989, it
becomes clear that the issue is less of whether one should
remember, but rather how to internalize the various lessons of the
past for the future of Europe. Memory and Representation in
Contemporary Europe thus offers the reader occasions upon which to
take stock of different but overlapping contours of past and
present in contemporary Europe.
