Opis: Collective Memories in War

This edited collection offers an empirical exploration of social memory in the context of politics, war, identity and culture. With a substantive focus on Eastern Europe, it employs the methodologies of visual studies, content and discourse analysis, in-depth interviews and surveys to substantiate how memory narratives are composed and rewritten in changing ideological and political contexts. The book examines various historical events, including the Russian-Afghan war of 1979-89 and World War II, and considers public and local rituals, monuments and museums, textbook accounts, gender and the body. As such it provides a rich picture of post-socialist memory construction and function based in interdisciplinary memory studies.Introduction Part I: Policy of History and Memory in Different Socio-Cultural Contexts 1.The Politics of History in Poland and Germany, Michal Luczewski, Paulina Bednarz-Luczewska, Tomasz Maslanka 2.
