This book provides novel and critical insights into the complex
relationship between politics of memory and oblivion in European
countries in the 20th and early 21st centuries as well as the
cultural, political and institutional backgrounds against which
they function. It explores the uses of the past in terms of a
conscious choice to either reactivate or overlook memories as
selective reference points for the promotion and legitimation of
contemporary political goals. The chapters of this volume bring
together theoretical discussions on the interrelationship between
remembrance and purposeful oblivion as active processes that serve
particular interests and ideologies in the present. By addressing
the diverse meanings given to practices of memory, the
contributions offer new perspectives on how institutions shape
cultural memory, power relations and identity projects. Politics of
Memory and Oblivion in the European Context: Critical Perspectives
will be of interest to scholars and graduate students from the
fields of memory studies, heritage studies, cultural studies,
history, and political science who engage with the legacies of
violent and traumatic pasts, post-colonial contexts, societal
transition and reconciliation. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal, European
Politics and Society.
