After the Second World War, millions of people across Eastern
Europe, displaced as a result of wartime destruction, deportations
and redrawing of state boundaries, found themselves living in
cities that were filled with the traces of the foreign cultures of
the former inhabitants. In the immediate post-war period these
traces were not acknowledged, the new inhabitants going along with
official policies of oblivion, the national narratives of new
post-war regimes, and the memorializing of the victors. In time,
however, and increasingly over recent decades, the former "other
pasts" have been embraced and taken on board as part of local
cultural memory. This book explores this interesting and
increasingly important phenomenon. It examines official ideologies,
popular memory, literature, film, memorialization and tourism to
show how other pasts are being incorporated into local cultural
memory. It relates these developments to cultural theory and argues
that the relationship between urban space, cultural memory and
identity in Eastern Europe is increasingly becoming a question not
only of cultural politics, but also of consumption and choice,
alongside a tendency towards the cosmopolitanization of memory.
