New discontent with a memorial culture
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
In his book, the German historian and theorist of the cultural memory of Aleid Assman polemes with those who doubt the values of the memorial culture, which, starting from the 70-80s of the last century, has become a dominant way of working with the past. The reason for this intensifying "discontent" was the transformation of the traumatic past into a subject of political and economic bargaining. The Holocaust Industry, fierce competition for the status of the victim, painful attachment to guilt are the most noticeable manifestations of how modern forms of cultural memory work. Partially recognizing the validity of the position of his opponents, Alade Assman is trying to build such a memorial perspective in which responsibility for committed crimes, ethical readiness to share guilt and legal framework that allow you to hear the votes of the victims, would turn work with the past into one of the important factors of the conscious movement towards the future .
