Tseti, Angela. "Photo-literature and trauma : from collective history to connective memory." Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015USPCC004.
Full textAbstract:
Prenant appui sur l'intérêt contemporain pour les rencontres texte/image et la prolifération récente des oeuvres bi-médiales, cette thèse se propose d'étudier les structures et les qualités du photo-roman, en vue de soutenir que cette forme nouvelle offre un espace privilégié à l'interrogation — et potentiellement à la représentation ¬des événements traumatiques collectifs. L'exploration d'une série de travaux photo-littéraires produits entre la fin du 20ème siècle et le début du 21ème et caractérisés par une thématique historiographique ainsi que la concomitance avec une catastrophe historique suggère que la combinaison de la fiction et de la photographie au sein d'un même dispositif photo-narratif est susceptible de fournir une alternative à la problématique bien connue de l'irreprésentabilité du trauma. Nous considérons que la photo-littérature emploie les rapports souvent notés entre la photographie et l'histoire, la biographie, le temps et la mort dans le cadre familier du roman, tout en faisant appel au lecteur comme un acteur indispensable du processus d'élaboration du sens textuel. Les mécanismes complexes du composé photo-textuel permettent de mettre en lumière le fait que les histoires de vie personnelles sont pertinentes à l'expérience collective, ainsi que les parallèles entre des événements historiques traumatiques divers. Ainsi, la photo-littérature permet un passage de l'histoire à un genre de mémoire qui est essentiellement connectif ; par là même, cette forme nouvelle va à l'encontre d'une incapacité présumée à énoncer la mémoire traumatique, en suivant une approche fondée sur l'attention et l'investissement affectifDrawing on the increased interest in word-image interactions and the recent proliferation of bimedial works of literature, this study proposes an investigation of the structures and qualities of the photo-nove', with the contention that this emergent new form constitutes a privileged space where instances of collective trauma may be addressed, potentially even represented. The exploration of a series of works of photo-literature of the Tate 20th and early 215t century that are affiliated to historiography and unfold in the midst or aftermath of a great historic calamity suggests that the combination of fiction and photography within a single, photo-textual narrative may counter the problematic of unrepresentability raised by Trauma Studies. Photo-literature, as this study purports, employs photography's well-lçnown relations to history, biography, time and'cleath within the familiar schema of the nove', while invoking? the respondent reader as an essential component of the meaning¬making process. These elaborate workings of the photo-textual compound result in the highlighting of the individual life story's pertinence to the collective experience and the establishment of parallels between diverse historical instances of trauma. Thus, photo-literature enables the passage from history to an essentially connective type of memory and, subsequently, responds to a professed inability to enunciate the traumatic experience, by offering an approach that is reliant on affective investment and attention

Full textAbstract:
(Re)Calling Philomela: Cultural Perceptions, Community Incorporation, and Collective Memory in Shakespeare’s Lucrece and Trussell’s Helen William Shakespeare’s The Rape of Lucrece (1594) and John Trussell’s Raptus I. Helenae. The First Rape of Faire Hellen (1595) intersect through not only their difficult subjects, but also their sympathetic representations of two legendary victims. Both poems question early modern English views about violated women, particularly highlighting the influence of cultural perceptions, community incorporation, and collective memory on a victim’s chances of survival. While Shakespeare’s Lucrece reveals how Renaissance notions isolate assaulted women and drive them toward honor-focused suicide, Trussell’s Helen shows how those ideas silence victims and force them into communally constructed secrecy. The degree to which Lucrece and Helen align with widespread anti-victim perceptions corresponds with the degree to which they self-destruct. Lucrece’s full internalization appears through both her vehement reactions and her suicide. On the other hand, Helen’s partial acceptance motivates less permanent – though still disturbing – responses, including deathly silence. Another significant factor in these victims’ struggles is (lack of) community incorporation. When Lucrece does not find companionship, even with the mythological character Philomela, she cannot see a way to simultaneously live and participate in her community. By contrast, when Helen finds support from maternal women around her, she can re-join society. Finally, critiques of collective memory’s power arise in each poem. In Lucrece’s Rome and Helen’s Greece, women cannot live without their reputations, which depend upon physical chastity. Though the two works differ in the timeframe of the victim’s focus – Lucrece thinking about her future exemplum and Helen about her present position – both texts reveal the negative results of a societal emphasis on public opinion: enabling rapists and stealing victims’ voices. Yet, in a culture where honor is everything, what other options are available besides death and silence? Neither Shakespeare nor Trussell offers an answer. Lucrece and Helen present the reader with stories of women in untenable positions, placed there by cultural conditions resembling those in early modern England. Such situations, the poems suggest, prevent vindication for violated women and create the need for someone to restore their voices, even if only through belated ventriloquism.

Full textAbstract:
What does it mean to link one's own history to that of another person or group of people? In what sense can a given history be 'one's own' or 'another's'? This thesis investigates movements between histories in three autobiographical texts which confront intergenerational shifts in language, triggered by the legacies of violent histories. Nabokov charts his movement from the Russian to the English language against the backdrop of the October Revolution, the Second World War and the Cold War. Perec's text confronts the silences in his family history produced by the death of his father in the Second World War and his mother's deportation to Auschwitz. His autobiography engages with a family history of displacement and movement between religious affiliations, countries, alphabets and languages, triggered by multiple waves of anti-Semitism, culminating with his mother's death in the Holocaust. Chamoiseau explores the ambivalent cultural and linguistic affiliations produced by a post- or neo-colonial childhood in Martinique. The thesis argues that in such contexts the links between the author's life and the lives of previous generations take on a central importance. Further, it demonstrates that each author goes beyond his own collective history to forge links between his life and those of other people who have lived through or are still suffering the legacies of different histories of violence and oppression. Though these movements have sometimes been noted, the original contribution of this thesis is that it argues such movements are central to the autobiographical texts under discussion. It looks at why and how inter-generational shifts in language inflect these authors' approach to the connections between their own histories and those of other people, and tests what is to be gained when the critic takes up the comparative interpretive framework these texts establish. By opening up a dialogue between these texts and a range of current theories of traumatic memory, inter-generational transmission of memory and 'multidirectional' memory, it finds that a comparative approach has the potential to enrich and nuance current debates in these areas.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation maps the emergence of a 'secularist ethics' in post-independence South Asian literature and film, an ethics which is a deeply felt poetic response to particular historical conjunctures marked by religio-nationalist conflict in the Indian subcontinent. It is my argument that literary and cultural productions, in striving to dream and envision a world free of violence, terror and religious intolerance, have some central contributions to make to contemporary intellectual and political debates on secularism. Through close readings of fictions by Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh, Mukul Kesavan, Bapsi Sidhwa, Saadat Hasan Manto, Khwaja Ahmad Abbas, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Jamila Hashmi, Jyotirmoyee Devi, and Lalithambika Antherjanam, as well as films by M. S. Sathyu, Saeed Akhtar Mirza, Khalid Mohamed and Shyam Benegal, which are concerned to address the issue of peaceful co-existence between different religious communities and nations in the Indian subcontinent, I argue that literary and imaginative endeavors by way of their alternative secularist imaginaries enable us to begin to imagine the possibilities of more habitable futures. Significantly, the 'secularist' fictions and films I invite attention to in my project enable a revisioning of the secular in terms quite different from normative understandings of liberal secularism. Such a renewed secularism seeks to make visible the normalization and neutralization of majoritarian religious beliefs and practices as constitutive of the representative secular-nationalist self in post-Partition India; it also emerges, significantly, from a gendered critique of the deep-seated patriarchal norms underlying most religious communities. Responding to different moments of crisis, predominantly the Partition of India in 1947, the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, and the destruction of the Babri Masjid in 1992, the radical secularist poetics of these works call attention to the fundamentalist agenda of Hindu nationalism, the limit

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines the concept of memory through a literature study of articles in three prominent archival journals. The aim of the study is to investigate if, and in that case how, the concept of memory is made visible in relation to archives as an institution and collection in three archival journals. The three archival journals that are under examination are Archival Science, American Archivist and Archivaria, with articles published between the years of 2013 to 2020. My study follows the previous research of Trond Jacobsen, Ricardo L. Punzalan and Margaret L. Hedstrom in the 2013 article Invoking ‘‘collective memory’’: mapping the emergence of a concept in archival science. My essay examines the seven following years; 2013-2020. This essay aims to provide a broader view of memory in archival science as it focuses on the concept of memory instead of “collective memory”. Three themes are found and examined; memory and identity, remembering and forgetting, and the archivist’s role in the establishment of memory. Assmann (2006; 2011) uses four different memory formations to illustrate the complexity of the concept. Jimerson (2009) also gives the study a theoretical framework by explaining the power structure and the relationship between the archivist and the concept of memory. The results show that the concept of memory is complex and that there are multiple definitions and understandings of memory. To use a universal definition of the concept of memory is problematic because of it’s multiple understandings. This thesis agrees with the articles examined in that we need interdisciplinary views on how the concept of memory is made visible in relation to archives as an institution and collection, and that archivists need broader tools of how to understand and problematize the concept of memory.

Wilson, Rachelle. "Historical Memory and Ethics in Spanish Narrative." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2017. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1062813/.
Full textAbstract:
This study traces the current status of Spanish ethics as seen through the optics of historical memory. Starting from the Spanish Civil War in 1936, the thesis relates contemporary themes to their proposed origin throughout three additional distinctive eras of the 20th and 21st century in Spain: 1982-1996 (Socialist Spain), 1997-2010 (Post-modern Spain), and 2011-present (current Spain). Spanish narratives ranging from Los Abel by Matute, La magnitud de la tragedia by Monzó, "Fidelidad" of Ha dejado de llover by Barba and Las fosas de Franco by Silva are contextualized through their ethical architecture, in accordance with their socio-political context, and relationship to past historical traumas. This work proposes that the themes of anticlericalism, the pursuit of social equality, anti bureaucracy, and political distrust are trends culminating from Kohlberg's third level of morality. The thesis aims to be an exposition and legitimization of different ethical schemas that might otherwise be polarized as wrong and inferior by others.

Full textAbstract:
It is arguable that memories are one of the most important aspects of the human mind. It is through memory that we are able to learn, to make decisions, to evolve. Michael Jacob Kahana (2012) suggests that “our memories define who we are, and our ability to learn and make new memories determines who we become” (Kahana, 2012, p.13). It has also been a topic by several literary authors in their works, such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and Antonio Lobo Antunes. This thesis approaches the subject of memories by researching theories and notions regarding the functions of memory and how memories are processed. It embodies the combination of research and practice, where the research into theoretical materials is used in order to develop a collection of short stories. This thesis has the main objective of approaching the practical side of creative writing with thorough background research in theories of human memory, linking all the short stories through the overarching theme of memory and the creative practice, delivering a consistent and unique approach to the field of Creative Writing. That is, these short stories are interpretations of the research through creative endeavour, and aim to explore these theories through the developed narratives. With each story, there is an accompanying critical commentary which describes the creative process and the theoretical approaches that influenced each of them, as well as the literary influences that informed the development of each story.

A partir da comparação do primeiro volume autobiográfico do escritor austríaco Thomas Bernhard, Die Ursache. Eine Andeutung (1975), com o romance Auslöschung. Ein Zerfall (1986), o qual simula, de certo modo, o gênero autobiográfico, procura-se observar como os mesmos complexos temáticos são configurados nos dois casos e como as diferenças encontradas se relacionam com as diferentes intenções ligadas aos textos, bem como aos diferentes momentos de escrita. É possível notar como a ficção possibilita ao autor mais liberdade para experimentar formalmente, bem como para intensificar o ataque desenvolvido contra suas origens, ao passo que na autobiografia, apesar de também apresentar um viés crítico acentuado, o fazer de forma mais sóbria, ocupando-se com questões de verossimilhança e autenticidade próprias do gênero. Além disso, este trabalho tenta mostrar como a ficção, surgida na mesma época da autobiografia, pode ser lida como uma espécie de comentário a esta.This work deals with the comparison of the first autobiographical volume of the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard, Die Ursache. Eine Andeutung (1975), with his novel Auslöschung. Ein Zerfall (1986), which has some characteristics of the autobiographical genre. The comparison intends to show how the same themes are configured in both cases and how the differences can be related to the different intentions and different moments of writing. Being noted as fiction allows the author more freedom to experiment formally and to intensify the attack he developed against his origins, while in the autobiography, although it also has a strong critical aspect, he puts his arguments in a restrained way, dealing with issues of verisimilitude and authenticity, which are typical for this genre. Furthermore, this text will try to analyse how the novel, written in the same context as the autobiography, completes it and functions like a kind of remark to the autobiographical work.

Wagner, Benjamin Lynn. "Shakespeare, Orson Welles, and the Hermeneutics of the Archive." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2016. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/6064.
Full textAbstract:
This paper examines certain theoretical underpinnings of the historical processes by which Shakespeare's history plays became the de facto collective memory of the events they depict, even when those events are misrepresented. The scholarly conversation about this misrepresentation has heretofore centered on Shakespeare's potential political motivations. I argue that this focus on a political, authorial intent has largely ignored the impact these historical distortions have had over the subsequent 400 years. I propose that, due to Shakespeare's unique place in the historical timeline of the development of collective memory, Shakespeare's historical misrepresentation in the history plays is a byproduct of the emerging ability to access historical sources while also shaping the nascent collective memory. Shakespeare became an archon, in the Derridian sense, of English history. As such he exercised the archon's hermeneutic right to interpret English history. Tracing the methods by which the public experienced Shakespeare's plays, this project shows that in the 20th century film became the dominant medium by which audiences experienced Shakespeare for the first time. Using Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight as the principle example, I show that the hermeneutic right shifted away from Shakespeare and was instead taken on by directors reinterpreting Shakespeare's version of history. Welles' knowing manipulation of the archontic function empowers his film, affecting subsequent interpretation and placing it squarely in the Shakespearean film canon.

Full textAbstract:
N. K. Jemisin‘s Broken Earth Trilogy explores the methods and effects of systemic oppression. Orogenes are historically oppressed and dehumanised by the wider society of The Stillness. In this thesis, I will be exploring the ways in which trauma experienced by orogenes is repeated through generations, as presented through Essun‘s varied and complex relationships with her children, and with the Fulcrum Guardian Schaffa. The collective trauma of orogenes is perpetuated through different direct and indirect actions in a repetitive cycle, on societal, interpersonal and familial levels. My reading will be in conversation with theories of trauma literature and cultural trauma, and will be informed by Afrofuturist cultural theory. Although science fiction and fantasy encourage the imagination, worldbuilding is inherently influenced by lived experiences. It could thus be stated that the trauma experienced by orogenes is informed by the collective trauma of African-Americans, as experienced by N. K. Jemisin. Afrofuturism is an aesthetic mode and critical lens which prioritises the imagining of a liberated future. Writing science fiction and fantasy through an Afrofuturist aesthetic mode encourages authors to explore forms of collective trauma as well as methods of healing. Jemisin creates an explicit parallel between the traumatic African-American experience and that of orogenes. Afrofuturist art disrupts linear time and addresses past and present trauma through the imagining of the future. The Broken Earth Trilogy provides a blueprint for the imagined liberation of oppressed groups. Using Afrofuturist tropes such as technology, the ―Black Genius‖ figure and alienation, Jemisin demonstrates the power of reclamation and the possibility of a self-created future for oppressed groups.

As traduções são minisséries homônimas. A primeira, dirigida por Paulo José, em 1985, tem 26 capítulos; a segunda, dirigida por Jayme Monjardim em 2014, três.

Além disso, investigamos como o texto literário e suas traduções audiovisuais repropõem a narrativa da história de um povo num determinado período de tempo, e de que maneira essa nova forma de contar incide sobre a instância do narrador nas três obras. Por fim, destacamos a categoria da memória, a partir do conceito de memória coletiva (HALBWACHS, 2006), aproximando-o de nossos objetos de estudo, uma vez que nas duas minisséries elege-se uma personagem que nos parece ser a responsável por narrar os feitos de um grupo – sua família – em determinado período histórico, abarcado por sua própria existência e de seus antepassados.

The first, directed by Paulo José in 1985, has 26 chapters; the second, directed by Jayme Monjardim in 2014, three. Our goal is to continue the research already started in Master's thesis (MAZIERO, 2013), and from the bases of studies on adaptation and translation, we use concepts from the areas of communication, languages, cinema and dramaturgy in order to demonstrate that, although there is some convergence between the texts, we must treat each one independently. In addition, we investigate how the literary text and its audiovisual translations re-propose the narrative of the history of a people over a given period of time, and how this new way of telling focuses on the narrator's instance in the three works. Finally, we highlight the category of memory, based on the concept of collective memory (HALBWACHS, 2006), bringing it closer to our objects of study, since in the two minisseries a character who seems to be responsible for narrating us is chosen. the achievements of a group - its family - in a certain historical period, encompassed by its own existence and its ancestors.

Attention to Victorian reviews of eighteenth-century and Romantic novels reveals sympathy's importance to the survival of classic novels and its role as a catalyst for critical standards that remain central. I demonstrate that reviewers used sympathy to describe a widespread but untheorized system of useful reading. Reviewers argue that rational sympathy could make reading a process of moral education. That is, if readers reject emotional stimulation, then reading about characters' motives teaches readers to evaluate the people and situations they encounter in the real world. By looking at already canonical novelists like Richardson, Fielding and Scott, by denying canonicity to gothic novelists, and by creating new classics with figures like Austen, Victorian reviewers engage sympathy to teach their readers how to read reviews and novels appropriately. In doing so, reviewers also alter the reviewing voice, making it more sympathetic as well as using it to cajole and convince readers (rather than expecting agreement based on the reviewer's expertise). Additionally, reviewers use persuasive techniques to build imagined relationships between readers, encouraging readers to take the moral ideals garnered from their reading and put them to use in relationships. I claim, then, that Victorian reviews, aimed at leisure readers, explore artistic questions primarily as contributors to sympathy and focus on how to read for moral and emotional education. As a result, crucial definitions and tenets about novel writing and reading are buried in paragraphs on morality or biography. If scholars understand why and how Victorian reviewers criticize novels, they will also recognize the complex arguments in these oft-derided articles. The result will be a fuller understanding of the history of novel criticism and a clearer picture of the values that guided the canonizing process during the Victorian period.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Remembrance and Genocide in the Contemporary German historical Africa-Novel In view of the role that literature plays in the remembrance of the Holocaust and in consideration of postcolonial approaches to interpreting the present in relation to the past, this study investigates the questions of remembrance and genocide in the contemporary German historical novel set in Africa. For this purpose, five historical novels will be analyzed. Three of them portray the colonial extermination of the Herero and Nama in German South-West Africa (1904-1907). These are: Gerhard Seyfried’s Herero (2003), Jürgen Leskien’s Einsam in Südwest (1991) and Uwe Timm’s Morenga (1978). The other two novels, Lukas Bärfuss’ Hundert Tage (2008) and Hans Christoph Buch’s Kain und Abel in Afrika (2001) deal with the Rwanda genocide of 1994 and its aftermath. Except for Jürgen Leskien’s Einsam in Südwest, the other novels have been analyzed before, but not from the perspective of ‘literary witnessing to genocide’, as this study will show. Using theoretical approaches of cultural and social memory studies as conceptualized by Jan and Aleida Assmann and adapted by other theorists, the study aims to assess the capacity of the novels as sites of memory. The textual analysis separately explores the question of genocide and that of remembrance and then links the two in a threefold manner. Firstly, it will be shown that genocide results in a myriad of memory constellations which correspond to the different participants’ need to come to terms with their actions and situations e.g. trauma on the part of the victims, guilt on the part of the aggressors and bystanders etc. Secondly, in this study the two genocides in Rwanda and Namibia open up the question of their relation to the Holocaust. It will be shown how the three genocides could be connected by investigating structural aspects, continuities and participants’ constellations. Generally, the fictionalized history this study explores is written from the perspective of guilt and trauma memory. The third aspect of this study will take into consideration recent debates about the German memory culture, including discussions about colonial history, focussed on the institutionalized atrocities committed against inhabitants of colonized territories in Southwest Africa and their claim for compensation. These discussions bring into focus the need to come to terms with an unresolved past, and the possible role of literature in this regard. By analyzing the selected novels, this study will explore the above considerations against the interpretations of historical occurrences as (re)constructed in the narrations. This study’s point of departure is that the historical Africa-Novel functions as an archive of memories of historical events that inspired their writing. The texts will be analysed as performing memory, incorporating memory, interpreting memory and revitalising historical consciousness.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Herinnering en Volksmoord in die kontemporêre Duitse historiese Afrika-roman In die lig van die rol wat letterkunde speel in die herinnering aan die Holocaust en met inagneming van postkoloniale benaderings tot die interpretasie van die hede in verhouding tot die verlede, stel hierdie studie ondersoek in na die vrae rondom herinnering en volksmoord in die kontemporêre Duitse historiese roman wat in Afrika afspeel. Vir hierdie doel sal vyf historiese romans geanaliseer word. Drie daarvan beeld die koloniale uitdelging van die Herero en die Nama in Duits-Suidwes-Afrika (1904-1907) uit. Hierdie romans is Gerhard Seyfried se Herero (2003), Jürgen Leskien se Einsam in Südwest (1991) en Uwe Timm se Morenga (1978). Die ander twee romans, Lukas Bärfuss se Hundert Tage (2008) en Hans Christoph Buch se Kain und Abel in Afrika (2001) handel oor die 1994 Rwanda volksmoord en die nasleep daarvan. Met die uitsondering van Jürgen Leskien se Einsam in Südwest is al die ander romans reeds voorheen geanaliseer, maar nie vanuit die perspektief van ‘letterkunde as getuie tot volksmoord’ nie, soos wat in hierdie studie aangetoon sal word. Deur die toepassing van kulturele en sosiale herinneringstudies soos gekonseptualiseer deur Jan en Aleida Assmann en aangepas deur ander teoretici, is dit die doel van hierdie studie om vas te stel tot watter mate hierdie romans optree as plekke van herinnering. Die tekstuele analise ondersoek die kwessies van volksmoord en herinnering afsonderlik en voeg dit dan saam op ’n drievoudige manier. Eerstens sal daar getoon word dat volksmoord lei tot tallose herinneringskonstellasies wat ooreenstem met die verskillende deelnemers se behoefte om hulle te berus by hulle aksies en situasies, byvoorbeeld trauma aan die kant van die slagoffers en skuld aan die kant van die aanvallers en omstanders, ens. Tweedens, in hierdie studie oor die volksmoorde in Rwanda en Namibië, kom die vraag na die Joodse volkslagting na vore. Daar sal getoon word hoe hierdie drie volksmoorde verbind kan word deur ondersoek in te stel na strukturele aspekte, kontinuïteit en deelnemers se konstellasies. Die gefiksionaliseerde geskiedenis wat in hierdie studie ondersoek word is oor die algemeen geskryf vanuit die perspektief van skuld- en traumaherinnering. Die derde aspek van hierdie studie neem onlangse debat in ag wat handel oor die Duitse herinneringskultuur. Dit sluit in besprekings oor koloniale geskiedenis wat fokus op die geïnstitusionaliseerde gruweldade gepleeg teen inwoners van gekoloniseerde grondgebiede in Suidwes-Afrika en hulle eis vir vergoeding. Hierdie besprekings neem die behoefte om die onopgeloste verlede te aanvaar onder die loep, asook die moontlike rol wat letterkunde kan speel in hierdie verband. Deur die analise van die gekose romans sal hierdie studie bogenoemde oorwegings ondersoek in die lig van verskillende interpretasies van historiese gebeure soos ge(re)konstrueer in die vertellings. Die vertrekpunt van hierdie studie is dat die historiese Afrika-roman funksioneer as ‘n argief vir herinneringe aan die historiese gebeure wat die skryf daarvan geïnspireer het. Die tekste sal geanaliseer word as uitvoering van herinnering, inkorporasie van herinnering, interpretasie van herinnering en die proses om nuwe lewe te blaas in historiese bewustheid.

Full textAbstract:
In addition to proposing a survey and subsequent analysis of the French-Algerian War in French-language comics, also known as bandes dessinées, published in Algeria, France, and Belgium since the 1960s, my dissertation investigates the ways in which this medium re-appropriates textual and iconographic source materials. I argue that the integration or citation of various sources by artists functions to confer a measure of historical accuracy on their representation of history, to constitute a collective memory as well as personal postmemories of the war, and to re-contextualize problematic images so that they and the hegemonic discourses they reinforce may be deconstructed. Moreover, the bande dessinée mimics secondary schoolbook representations of the war in both Algeria and France in its recycling of problematic images such as Orientalist painting, colonial postcards, and iconic images of war. The recycling of textbook images has the double advantage of ensuring reader familiarity with these images and of inviting critical interpretations of them. By exploring how the bande dessinée reuses colonial images as well as critical histories in predominantly anti-colonialist narratives, I seek to explain how this popular medium uniquely problematizes questions of history, memory, and postcolonial identity related to French Algeria and its decolonization. It is my contention that, because historical bandes dessinées frequently include or reference authentic textual and iconographic source material documenting the repercussions of the French-Algerian war on various communities, they represent a valuable resource to middle and high school teachers looking to enrich the state-mandated history curriculum. By using the bande dessinée in this capacity, educators exploit this medium as both a historical document (whose objective is to transmit knowledge of the past) and a document of history (which allows scholars to retrace the evolution of public opinion).

Full textAbstract:
Est-ce que les romans écrits par six grands auteurs italiens (Beppe Fenoglio, Italo Calvino, Elio Vittorini, Renata Viganò, Mario Tobino), membres de la Résistance, peuvent aider les historiens à mieux comprendre cette période de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale et à analyser les processus de la construction de la mémoire collective. Les fictions apportent des éléments pour comprendre l'état d'esprit des hommes qui ont pris le parti de se battre contre les nazis et les fascistes. Les écrivains présentent le caractère spontané, incertain des motivations de ces rebelles, loin d'être des héros. L'historien Guido Quazza définit ces attitudes par le terme « d'antifascisme existentiel », insistant sur les aspects valeureux de ce mouvement, comme les historiens qui l'ont précédé. Cette différence entre les deux visions apparaît également dans l'examen des attitudes de la population. Les romans insistent sur la multiplicité et l'instabilité des comportements des civils. Les travaux des historiens des années 50 se concentrent sur les formes de soutien du monde paysan. Dans les années 70 ils étudient cette partie de la population italienne qui n'a pas voulu prendre parti, qu'ils nomment « la zone grise ». Les romans accordent une place au rôle des femmes dans la Résistance, pris en compte plus tard par la recherche historique.Cette analyse montre l'efficacité de la littérature pour l'histoire culturelle et anthropologique de la Résistance, par sa finesse et sa subtilité elle permet de percevoir, derrière les événements, les pensées des gens qui y participent. De plus l'utilisation de la littérature comme source peut contribuer à l'élaboration d'une mémoire complexeSix notable Italian authors (Beppe Fenoglio, Italo Calvino, Elio Vittorini, Renata Viganò, Luigi Meneghello, Mario Tobino) portrayed what the life of the insurgents was during World War II. This research investigates the potential of their fictional works to help historian better understand this crucial period, they experienced.An appraisal of fictitious accounts of the war, as seen from the insurgent's perspective, may help understanding their state of mind once facing the armed forces of both the German occupant and fascists battalions. Their pre-political sensibility has been defined by the historian Guido Quazza as 'existential anti-Fascism". Historian's accounts of the Italian Resistance portrayed it from a somewhat idealistic view, mostly highlighting the heroic side. However, it is clear from the literature analyzed, that it was far from harmonious. The writer stresses the multifarious and the diversity of the population's comportments. Historical works of the 1950's concentrated on analyzing the support by the peasants to the Resistance, while in the 1970's this focus shifted to the importance of the "grey zone", the non-committal population. The novels underline the factual, supportive attitude of women throughout the Italian Resistance, only corroborated by recent scholarly works.This research indicates the efficacy of fictional literature as a complement to the use of historical cultural anthropology, for analyzing components of the Italian Resistance. Their keenness and subtlety allows scholars to better assess people's thoughts behind observed events. Use of this material may help avoid a simplified building of memory

Full textAbstract:
"Sorry" is a play in two acts, exploring how collective memory of the past, including traumatic memory of being taken from one's family, affects the present in complex and surprising ways. The Stolen Generations' episode of Australian history, when mixed heritage Aboriginal Australians were taken from their families as a result of governmental policy, casts its shadow over four generations of Almadi Paice Aboriginal-Afghan-Anglo mixed heritage family members. Against a thematic backdrop of shame, apology and (hoped for) forgiveness, the 'living' family members struggle for empowerment and agency against the forces of government bureaucracy, the Law and their own emotional demons.
"Shame and Apology in the Nation-State: Reflections and Remembrance" is an exegesis which explores theoretical concepts related to collective memory, shame, performative apology and forgiveness, interlinked with Jan Patočka's notion of individual responsibility towards action. Using reciprocal interview material with a number of Aboriginal-Afghan-Anglo mixed heritage participants, who have either had direct experience of being "stolen" or who are related to "stolen" family members, this exegesis explores alternative modes of remembering their past and present in creative art works. In addition, I theorise that in our contemporary "age of apology" political apology to particular wronged groups of national communities may be problematic not only for their ubiquity and their tendency to alibi but because they do not address other important issues such as reparation and guarantees against repetition; nor do they deny the sovereignty of the nation-state apparatus to ‘do’ apology in a manner and at a time of its own choosing. The exegesis explores the importance of national commemoration, such as ANZAC Day, in promoting national collective memory, and theorises that a collective annual commemoration on behalf of the nation’s "stolen" people would be a much more compelling reconciliatory act than a single apology by a particular prime minister. My short story, "We’re Ready", which immediately follows the exegesis is my creative attempt to demonstrate the towards action and towards national reconciliation gestured by annual commemorative performance.

Full textAbstract:
The object of this master´s thesis is to investigate how the Swedish person literary society movement acts. The Swedish history contains the well-known popular movements with their 19:th century roots. Today, some of them have turned into factors of power. Does the literary society movement have the chance to take over as such en established popular movement? What is their entire aim? My hypothesis is that the person literary societies bring the literature forward through collective memory making. As a theoretical background, I studied research upon literary tourism and collective memory. Heroic worship and person adoration often have been considered naive from a scientific point of view. For my field survey, I interviewed members of societies associated with Ester Ringnér-Lundgren, Carl Johan Love Almqvist, Carl Michael Bellman, Birger Sjöberg and Per Anders Fogelström. I found out that the person literary society movement might be a factor of power in creating discourses from different aspects of their respective authors. The Bellman society aspires to change people´s opinions upon Bellman, while the other ones principally want to make their authors visible. The person literary societies exist in an intermediate position between the academic comparative literature and the biographical. Their other main tasks are publishing, socializing and being responsible for places related to their authors. Foucault´s notion heterotopia (a place between reality and utopia) is applicable to the experience of participating in a person literary society meeting, according to my investigation. The person literary societies also create and maintain les Lieux de Mémoire. According to Nora, this notion signifies turning points where history meets memory. From one of my informants, I perceived a tension between the traditional popular movement society and the computer age. The relationship towards social media and internet differs among the person literary societies in my study. A possible explanation might be the average age of thier members. The society of the youth novelist Ringnér-Lundgren measures an average age of 50, while the other ones mostly consist of people reaching their retirement age. The Fogelström society stands out in attracting immigrants and in working towards the public. Taking part in the Book and Library Fair is the most common collaboration between the societies and the ALM sector. This is a two years master´s thesis in Archive, Library and Museum studies.

A proposta desta dissertação é analisar a estrutura e o estilo da escrita da cronista Nina Horta a partir da primeira publicação no Jornal Folha de São Paulo até a coletânea de suas crônicas publicadas no período de 1987 a 1995 e reunidas no livro Não é sopa: crônicas e receitas de comida, da editora Companhia das Letras. A relação entre a literatura e a gastronomia presente no livro se estrutura a partir da constatação de que se alimentar faz parte do cotidiano das pessoas, e este, por sua vez, é uma forma de alimento para a crônica. Para lograr tal objetivo, será realizado um histórico da crônica, apresentando sua trajetória e sua importância no Brasil e sua ligação com o jornal. Buscar-se-á estabelecer as transformações realizadas na tradicional coluna de culinária por Nina Horta a fim de aproximá-la da crônica. Pretende-se, também, mapear a forma com que a autora relaciona fatos e situações rotineiras a que todo ser humano está sujeito ao resgate e ao registro da memória coletiva. Para a pesquisa, os fundamentos teóricos sobre a crônica serão baseados em Antonio Candido, Jorge de Sá e Joaquim Ferreira dos Santos. Walter Benjamim, Maurice Halbwachs e Pierre Nora serão alguns dos teóricos estudados na busca de uma aproximação da memória coletiva.
This dissertations aims to analyze the structure and writing style of the writer Nina Horta, from her first publication in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo to her book Não é sopa: crônicas e receitas de comida, by the publisher Companhia das Letras. The relationship between literature and gastronomy found in the book is based on the conclusion that feeding is a part of people’s routine – which is, for its part, a source of inspiration for the short stories themselves. In order to achieve such purpose, we will outline a history of the short story, presenting its development and importance in Brazil, as well as its connection to newspapers. We will try to establish the transformations which happened in Nina Horta’s traditional cooking column, so as to bring it closer to the short story genre. We also intend to map the way the author connects usual facts and situations, to which everyone is subject, to the recovery and record of collective memory. For the research, the theoretical foundations about short stories will be based on Antonio Candido, Jorge de Sá and Joaquim Ferreira dos Santos. Walter Benjamim, Maurice Halbwachs and Pierre Nora will be some of the theoreticians studied in order to approach the concept of collective memory.

This is a survey about working with children's literature whose general objective is to investigate what children 5-6 years have to say from the readings of stories carried by the librarian and the teacher in Early Childhood Education class. From this, the following specific objectives were outlined: (i) investigate the influences and adult mediation contribution in the psychological development of children, working with children's literature in kindergarten; (Ii) analyze what children have to say from reading stories, identifying trends. As methodological procedures were used: semi-structured interviews with the teacher and the librarian; observation of the readings made by the librarian and teacher; collective and semi-structured interviews (with groups of two to five participants) with the children after the readings. Both the interviews and the observations were video-filmed in order to have the possibility of returning the scenes identifying gestures accompanying speech or even less clear conversations at the time of going to the field, and that the recordings preserved. In total we obtained for analysis: three moments of conversation / interview with the librarian and an interview with the teacher; nine video footage of readings taken; 18 interviews with groups of children; and 49 drawings produced by children during interviews. The empirical material was analyzed qualitatively, with basis in historical-cultural theory, focusing on the concepts of imagination and memory as psychic functions superiors in development in children and socially constituted. They were used as axes of analysis of the interviews with the children, and the observations of the readings: the narratives produced by children who retold the story; discussions in which participants put their views; experience reports; and invented narratives. At the end of the analysis we realized that the retelling of the story was not individually with each child, but rather was built by a collective memory of each group of children interviewed. We also note that post-reading moments in which the book is still holding material and imagination is instigated and allowed, are important to (re) signification and appropriation that children make the text. Moreover, one can realize that creative ideas, in which the children sought to incorporate new elements to the story, have become increasingly frequent over the interviews. We also point out that adults of mediations - the teacher, the librarian, the researcher - in each of the situations experienced by children participants, solicit, encourage and legitimize different statements and behavior of children, contributing in different ways to the children's psychological development. It was found that adult mediation, the way it handles text and leads reading can contribute more positively or less in the formation of memory and imagination of children, encouraging them to create or primarily reproduce.
Trata-se de uma pesquisa sobre o trabalho com a literatura infantil cujo objetivo geral ? investigar o que as crian?as de 5 a 6 anos t?m a dizer a partir das leituras de hist?rias realizadas pela bibliotec?ria e pela professora, numa turma de Educa??o Infantil. A partir deste, foram delineados os seguintes objetivos espec?ficos: (i) investigar as influ?ncias e contribui??o da media??o do adulto no desenvolvimento ps?quico das crian?as, no trabalho com a literatura infantil na Educa??o Infantil; (ii) analisar o que as crian?as t?m a dizer a partir das leituras de hist?rias, identificando tend?ncias. Como procedimentos metodol?gicos foram utilizados: entrevista semiestruturada com a professora e com a bibliotec?ria; observa??o das leituras realizadas pela bibliotec?ria e professora; e entrevistas semiestruturadas coletivas (com grupos de dois a cinco participantes) com as crian?as ap?s as leituras. Tanto as entrevistas quanto as observa??es foram v?deo-filmadas a fim de termos a possibilidade de retornar as cenas identificando gestos que acompanham falas ou mesmo conversas menos n?tidas no momento da ida a campo, e que as grava??es conservam. No total obtivemos para an?lise: tr?s momentos de conversa/entrevista com a bibliotec?ria e uma entrevista com a professora; nove v?deo-filmagens das leituras realizadas; 18 entrevistas com os grupos de crian?as; e 49 desenhos produzidos pelas crian?as durante as entrevistas. O material emp?rico foi analisado qualitativamente, com embasamento na teoria Hist?rico-cultural, com foco nos conceitos da imagina??o e da mem?ria como fun??es ps?quicas superiores em desenvolvimento nas crian?as e constitu?das socialmente. Foram utilizados como eixos de an?lise das entrevistas com as crian?as, bem como das observa??es das leituras: as narrativas produzidas pelas crian?as que recontavam a hist?ria; discuss?es nas quais os participantes colocavam seus pontos de vista; relatos de experi?ncia; e narrativas inventadas. Ao final das an?lises pudemos perceber que o recontar da hist?ria n?o se fazia individualmente com cada crian?a, mas sim era constru?do por uma mem?ria coletiva de cada grupo de crian?as entrevistadas. Pudemos notar tamb?m que momentos p?s-leitura, nos quais o livro ainda ? material de explora??o e a imagina??o ? instigada e permitida, s?o importantes para a (re)significa??o e apropria??o que as crian?as fazem do texto. Al?m disso, pode-se perceber que ideias criativas, nas quais as crian?as buscavam incorporar novos elementos ? hist?ria, tornaram-se cada vez mais frequentes com o decorrer das entrevistas. Destacamos ainda que as media??es dos adultos - a professora, a bibliotec?ria, a pesquisadora - em cada uma das situa??es vivenciadas pelas crian?as participantes da pesquisa, solicitam, estimulam e legitimam diferentes enunciados e comportamentos das crian?as, contribuindo de maneiras distintas para o desenvolvimento psicol?gico infantil. Foi poss?vel constatar que a media??o do adulto, o modo como ele lida com o texto e conduz a leitura pode contribuir mais positivamente ou menos na constitui??o da mem?ria e da imagina??o das crian?as, incentivando-as a criarem ou a, prioritariamente, reproduzirem.

Full textAbstract:
In the course of its history, Prague has been the site of many significant cultural confrontations and conversations. From the medieval chronicle of Cosmas to the work of contemporary writers, the city has taken shape in literature as a multivalent space where identities are constructed and questioned. The evolution of Prague's literary significance has taken place in an intercultural context: both Czech-speaking and German-speaking writers have engaged with the city and its past, and their texts have interacted with each other. The city has played a central part in many collective narratives in which myth, history and literature intertwine. Looking at contemporary prose fiction written in both Czech and German, this thesis explores continuities and contrasts in the literary roles played by Prague. It analyses two German-speaking emigrant authors, Libuše Moníková (1945-1998) and Jan Faktor (1951- ), viewing them alongside three Czech writers, Jáchym Topol (1962- ), Daniela Hodrová (1946- ), and Michal Ajvaz (1949- ). Through close readings of eight texts, the thesis approaches the imagined city from four angles. It discusses how contemporary authors portray the search for meaning in the city by imagining Prague as two contrasting realms (the 'real' city and the 'other' city), how the discontinuities of the city are reflected by the fragmentation of the authorial stance, how these authors assemble new Prague myths from the vestiges of older topoi, and how they confront the contradictory urges to uphold the boundaries of the city and to transgress them. In post-1989 Prague, authors explore the unstable spaces between continuity and discontinuity, constructing an authorial ethos in these areas of tension.

My dissertation, “Problemáticas del espacio en la narrativa hispanoamericana contemporánea (1990-2010)” [Problematics of Space in Contemporary Spanish American Narrative (1990-2010)], focuses on the concept of space and its articulations in a diverse corpus of written and visual narratives by contemporary Latin American authors. The problematics of spaciality are analyzed within the specific time period encompassing the last decade of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century, a period in which space has emerged as an important category for understanding the present. The “spatial turn”, proposed and analyzed by Michel Foucault, David Harvey, and Edward Soja, assumes that space has become a more relevant analytical category than time, due to the emergence of new technologies and media, new forms of capital flow, and because of the preeminence of the image in contemporary times. Following Henri Lefebvre’s foundational proposal, I understand space in relation to social formation and as a product of human practices rather than as an a priori category or an abstract geometrical notion independent of subjectivity and human agency. Within this framework, the problematics of space are analyzed in a corpus that includes the novels Amuleto (1999) by Roberto Bolaño, La virgen de los sicarios (1994) by Fernando Vallejo, and El asco. Thomas Bernhard en San Salvador (1997) by Horacio Castellanos Moya, and two films, Los rubios (2003) directed by Albertina Carri, and La teta asustada (2009) by Claudia Llosa. The first chapter of the dissertation lays out the theoretical framework of the concept of space and the specific socio-economical characteristics of the studied time period. The second chapter analyzes the enclosed space of Amuleto in the context of Mexico’s 1968 Tlatelolco Massacre, and proposes that a “space of the abyss” emerges with the death of a Latin American generation and the fall of the utopias in the 1960s. The third chapter compares and contrasts the films La teta asustada and Los rubios with respect to the theme of postmemory in the periods following the internal conflict in Peru and the military dictatorship in Argentina. The “space of postmemory” that arises in both films relates to the interplay between the absence/presence of the bodies of the parents – who lived the traumatic events – and the second generation that inherits the trauma. The fourth chapter examines the “spaces of escape” that emerge from La virgen de los sicarios and El asco as a possibility of escape for protagonists who face collapsed cities and states: Medellin after the death of Pablo Escobar, and San Salvador after the end of the Civil War. The three configurations of space that arise from the corpus – “space of the abyss”, “space of postmemory”, and “space of escape” – articulate crucial issues of contemporary Latin America such as the fall of modernizing utopias, trauma, postmemory, disenchantment, and the failure of the liberal state. They also bring to light three key features of contemporary spatiality: the individualization of spaces pointing to individualism as a necessary condition for new fluxes of capitalism; the reduction of diegetic spaces that relates to the concept of time-space compression proposed to account for the spatial changes of the studied period; and the appearance of spaces of refuge as a general response to the ephemeral conditions of the present.

This dissertation presents a comparative study of tales of contemporary angolan and brazilian literatures, having as object of reflection the presence of black character and the construction of cultural identity and literary. The corpus consisted of two brazilian tales: "Civilization" by Oswaldo de Camargo (O carro do exito, 1972) and "Benedict said by saying" (Negros em contos, 1996), writer Cuti; and two angolan tales: "Blacks do not know how to eat lobster" (Fronteiras perdidas, 1998), by José Eduardo Agualusa, and "The Colonel's Building of the Dog" (Kasakas & cardeais, 2002), writer Jacques Arlindo dos Santos. The literary forms of these short stories, especially the issue of black character as a subject of speech by the light of studies of Bakhtin, were factors in the construction of identity of the character, beyond representation of collective memory in the narrative structure through confrontation between the discourses the narrator and the characters. Considered the cultural diversity of the two countries, Brazil and Angola, it was possible to observe a distinction regarding the construction of identity of black people in relation to the narrative spaces, in its cultural redefinition. It was found that the search of identity took different traits because the black character of the brazilian tales belong to an area of loan, which is not african, while the black character of the angolan tales is inserted in the african space, of belonging. However, analysis of the tales revealed a common thread between the two literatures, namely, its literary marginality. About the theoretical foundation, the theme of cultural and literary identity were the subject of some determinants researches for this study, specially of the Zila Bernd (1987/1988), Domicio Proença Filho (2004), Eduardo de Assis Duarte (2009), Inocencia Mata (2006), Maria Luiza Pereira Scher (2007) and Renato Ortiz. In the specific field of cultural studies and collective memory, Stuart Hall (2003/2006), Homi K. Bhabha (2007), Maurice Halbwachs (1950) and Paul Ricoeur (2007) were vital presences. Although confirmed the undeniable quality and value of literary short stories studied, their literary marginality emphasizes the need for critical studies that have focused on the so-called black literature, in the brazilian case, and the angolan literature, especially as regards their literary identity commonly overlooked
Este trabalho apresenta um estudo comparado entre contos contemporâneos das literaturas brasileira e angolana, tendo por objeto de reflexão a presença da personagem negra e a construção de identidade cultural e literária. O corpus constituiu-se por 2 contos brasileiros: Civilização , de Oswaldo de Camargo (O carro do êxito, 1972) e O dito pelo dito Benedito (Negros em contos, 1996), do escritor Cuti; e 2 contos angolanos: Os pretos não sabem comer lagosta (Fronteiras perdidas, 1998), de José Eduardo Agualusa e O coronel do Prédio do Cão (Kasakas & cardeais, 2002), do escritor Jacques Arlindo dos Santos. As formas literárias inscritas nesses contos, especialmente a questão da personagem negra como sujeito do discurso à luz dos estudos baktinianos, constituíram-se em fatores construtivos da identidade da personagem, além da representação da memória coletiva na estrutura narrativa por meio do confronto entre os discursos do narrador e os das personagens. Considerada a diversidade cultural dos dois países, Brasil e Angola, foi possível constatar uma distinção quanto à construção da identidade das personagens negras em relação aos espaços narrativos, em sua ressignificação cultural. Verificou-se que a busca identitária configurou-se distinta porque a personagem negra dos contos brasileiros pertence a um espaço de empréstimo, que não é o africano, ao passo que nos contos angolanos a personagem negra está inserida no espaço africano, de pertencimento. Entretanto, a análise dos contos revelou um ponto em comum entre as duas literaturas, nomeadamente, sua marginalidade literária. Quanto à fundamentação teórica, o tema da identidade cultural e literária foi alvo de alguns estudos determinantes para a pesquisa como os de Zilá Bernd (1987/1988), Domício Proença Filho (2004), Eduardo de Assis Duarte (2009), Inocência Mata (2006), Maria Luiza Scher Pereira (2007) e Renato Ortiz. No campo específico dos estudos culturais e da memória coletiva, Stuart Hall (2003/2006), Homi K. Bhabha (2007), Maurice Halbwachs (1950) e Paul Ricoeur (2007) foram presenças imprescindíveis. Apesar de confirmada a inegável qualidade e valor literário dos contos estudados, sua marginalidade literária coloca em relevo a necessidade de estudos críticos que tenham por foco a denominada literatura negra, no caso brasileiro, e a literatura angolana, especialmente no que se refere à sua identidade literária, comumente esquecida

Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail trouve son origine dans le grand débat national sur la mémoire collective, et plus particulièrement dans celle concernant les relations judéo-polonaises en Pologne à la veille, pendant et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. A partir de romans ainsi que de la presse quotidienne, le chercheur analyse le changement dans le domaine de la littérature de la Shoah et de sa réception au commencement du XXIème siècle. La réflexion tripartite se caractérise par son aspect interdisciplinaire dont les différentes approches se retrouvent à l’intersection de la notion de discours. Tour d’abord, la première partie décrit le contexte culturel dans lequel le corpus défini apparaît. L’épuisement des anciens mythes nationaux ainsi que l’apparition de la nouvelle narration sur le passé sont au centre de l’étude. Dans le prolongement, la deuxième partie analyse la nouvelle mise en scène de la Shoah dans la littérature de point de vue générique. Elle est ensuite complétée par un bilan de sa réception dans la presse nationale. Enfin, la troisième partie se concentre sur la perspective discursive proprement dit. Les énonciations du corpus littéraire sont divisées en fonction de positionnement de personnages face à la tragédie de la Shoah (les victimes et les témoins) et regroupées dans les principales unités énonciatives qui mettent en lumière les stratégies discursives appliquéesThis thesis is grounded in the national debate on collective memory, focusing particularly on the Polish-Jewish relationships before, during and immediately after the World War II. The researcher utilises popular novels and press accounts to analyse the changes within writing on the Holocaust as well as public’s reception of these texts in the beginning of the 21st Century. The reflection on the topic is presented in three stages which are underpinned by interdisciplinary approach and mixed-methods analysis to arrive at the common ground of the definition of discourse. Therefore, the aim of the first section is to present and describe the cultural context in which the body of literature to be analysed is embedded. The main areas of interest of this discussion are the depletion of national myths and the emergence of new narration about the past. Leading on from this reflection, the second section examines la mise en scène of Holocaust in the literature, evaluating it from the perspective of genre. This analysis is supported with in-depth research into public reception of the discussed body of literature in national press. Finally, the third section focuses on the perspective of the discourse. Particular expressions used in the analysed novels are classified according to their stance on the subject of Holocaust, i.e. whether they were voiced by witnesses or victims. These are then categorised into the amalgamated enunciative units which consequently disclose the strategic application of discourse

Full textAbstract:
Le but de ce travail est d’étudier les apparitions de l’Histoire dans la littérature argentine contemporaine. La littérature crée des univers autonomes dont l’impossibilité est le corps, et partant l’action. Elle s’inspire néanmoins du réel ; il est sa seule limite. Dans le réagencement que la littérature opère sur le réel, on peut donc trouver des traces de l’Histoire. L’historiographie, quant à elle, peut sembler être un récit partiel, découlant des nombreuses sélections des documents de l’historien influencé par son temps et par le pouvoir qui le régit : l’histoire officielle, à de nombreux égards, est une construction artificielle. En Argentine, dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, les régimes militaires interrompent l’écriture de l’Histoire. Le roman argentin contemporain préserve la mémoire collective en évoquant des faits que le pouvoir militaire fait disparaître de l’Histoire. En outre, la littérature nationale ayant émergé dans les années 50, elle devient l’espace de préservation d’une identité nationale, face à l’instrumentalisation de l’Histoire par le pouvoir et à l’écriture conquérante de l’Histoire par l’EuropeThe purpose of this work is to study the manifestations of History in contemporary Argentinean literature. Literature creates autonomous universes whose impossibility is the body, and therefore the action. However it draws its inspiration from the reality that is its only limit. Then in the reconstruction operated by literature upon real, traces of history may be found. As regards historiography it may appear as a partial account, following from many selections of documents by the historian, himself under influence of his time, and the power he is governed by: the official history, in many respects is an artificial construction. In Argentina, during the second half of the XXth century, the military governments suspended the writing of History. Argentinean contemporary novels preserve collective memory evoking facts that military power gets disappear from History. Moreover, as national literature has emerged in the 50’s, its becomes a mean of preservation for the national identity, that stood up to the misuse and distorting of History by the power, and Europe’s conquering writing of History

Full textAbstract:
My thesis discusses the ways in which Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies (1994) and In the Name of Salomé (2000) are revolutionary texts contesting traditional, male dominated history and redirecting historical and communal foci to the lives of Dominican women. I employ Walter Benjamin's theories found in his essays "The Storyteller" (1936) and "On the Concept of History" (1940) to assist my exploration of Alvarez's questions concerning the power and effect of storytelling, and the importance of reconstructing various historical voices and images, specifically, the importance of reconstructing female voices in male dominated cultures. I discuss the female-narrated component to Dominican history which Alvarez creates in her reconstruction of the lives of these women. Alvarez confronts the challenge of breaking these women out of their marginalized status by combining fiction with history in her reconstruction of their lives. Alvarez assumes the multifaceted role of mediator, story-teller, and historian as she remembers and re-presents Dominican history through the eyes of women who lived, experienced, and affected change within the Dominican Republic. Without merely act as a reporter of historical "facts," Alvarez reconstructs the lives of these women fictionally, applying her impressions and ideas about the personalities, feelings, and thoughts of these women, and historically, utilizing first and secondhand accounts and information about the women. Ultimately, the women are presented as individuals but are also connected to a collective memory and history. As individuals with human characteristics, the women are no longer inaccessible legends. As members of a collective memory and history, the women are redeemed from the isolating effect of their patriarchal society which would have women remain silent. Due to Alvarez's reconstruction, their stories finally have the potential for further dissemination in the future with the possibility to affect other oppressed peoples. Thus, Alvarez's reconstruction of the resistance of a few women in Dominican history produces the capacity for additional resistance by Alvarez's audience to the same forces that these women were combating which continue to exist today — forces such as patriarchy, dictatorial governments, fascism, and economic disparity.

For the purpose of the study we varied the outcome of a sequence of ambiguous behaviors performed by an imaginary individual during World War II. Compared to a control condition where no outcome was presented, this person either ended up saving Jews (heroic behavior) or denouncing Jews to the Gestapo (cowardly behavior). After one week, behavioral antecedents that were consistent with the outcome were likely to be recalled and communicated. Results suggest a tendency towards forming extreme impressions of the target, depending on the outcome. These extreme impressions in turn guide the recall and evaluations of predictability, and also impact on communication about these episodes and thereby on the formation of collective memory.Para el estudio se varió el resultado final de una secuencia ambigua de conductas realizadas por una persona ficticia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Después de la secuencia ambigua de acciones, en una condición control no se producía ninguna consecuencia, en otra condición de heroísmo la persona salvaba la vida de Judíos y en otra condición de cobardía los denunciaba a la Gestapo. Los antecedentes congruentes con la conducta final se recordaron y comunicaron más una semana después. Esto sugiere una tendencia a inferir juicios extremos a partir de la conducta final del personaje, que a su vez influyen en el recuerdo en relación al nivel de previsibilidad de la conducta del personaje, e influyen en la comunicación sobre el hecho y la memoria colectiva.

Full textAbstract:
Notre thèse s'attachera à montrer la pertinence d'une écriture engagée et genrée de la Seconde République et du Franquisme à travers cinq romans de femmes récents pour réparer les déficiences de l'Histoire. La tension référentielle créée par l'historicisation et la fictionnalisation de ces romans permet leur ancrage dans un référent historique questionné et fragilisé à travers une écriture postmoderne et non-événementielle. Ces choix épistémologiques soulignent le projet axiologique sous-tendu. Ainsi, l'analyse du discours porté sur l'Histoire révèle sa subjectivité, partialité et son ironie pour imposer une approche mémorielle orientée vers la récupération de la mémoire des vaincus/ues, volontairement manichéenne pour construire la condamnation du franquisme. L'analyse des thématiques privilégiées met en lumière ensuite la réhabilitation de la sphère privée, à travers les relations entre sexes et la famille, pour en révéler l'historicité. L'étude des enjeux familiaux met au jour la construction des identités et des mémoires familiales, de leurs stratégies pour se perpétuer, mais aussi des processus de délitement qu'elles subissent, à travers les questions de la filiation et de la transmission. L'étude des personnages, de l'hétérogénéité énonciative et formelle montre enfin comment ces histoires assument un traitement sexué de l'Histoire induisant une focalisation sur l'expérience historique des femmes et une récupération obsessionnelle de leur parole pour révéler les enjeux de pouvoir, déconstruire les préjugés androcentriques sur la féminité, établir l'identité, voire la spécificité de la culture des femmes de l'époque pour révéler les processus de son occultation et de sa dévalorisation, tout en pointant le projet misogyne qui informe le franquismeOur thesis will endeavour to show the relevance of a committed, gendered writing on the Second Republic and on Francoism - through five recent novels written by women - to compensate for the deficiencies of History. The referential tension created by the historicization and the fictionalization of these novels makes them fall into a historical referent questioned and weakened through post-modern and non- factual writing. These epistemological choices emphasize the underlying axiological project. Thus, the analysis of the speech found in History reveals its subjectivity, bias and irony to impose a memorial approach restoring the memory of the vanquished (male or female), an approach voluntarily manichean to condemn Francoism. Then the analysis of the privileged themes brings into light the rehabilitation of the private sphere, through the relations between genders and families to reveal its historicity. The study of what is at stake in families reveals the construction of identities and family memories, their strategies to perpetuate them but also the processes of disintegration they are submitted to, through the questions of filiation and transmission. The study of the characters, of the heterogeneity of speech and form finally shows how these stories take on a gendered treatment of History leading to a focalization on the historic experience of women and an obsessional recuperation of their voices to reveal power interests at stake, deconstruct androcentric prejudices on femininity, establish the identity, or specificity of women's culture at the time, to reveal the processes of its concealment and depreciation while pointing at the misogynist policy which characterizes Francoism

La novela realista De amor y de sombra, por la autora Isabel Allende, describe como dos jóvenes luchan contra la “injusticia legalizada” en un lugar ficticio que alude a Chile bajo la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet. Un tema subyacente pero crucial en la obra es el olvido – individual, colectivo e impuesto. Por consiguiente demostraremos en este análisis cómo se presenta el olvido en la novela De amor y de sombra. La hipótesis que dirige nuestro estudio es que el olvido tiene un propósito mayor – destacar la importancia de recordar el pasado. Haciendo un análisis hermenéutico, nos apoyaremos en tres teorías sobre el olvido y el olvido social, resaltando ejemplos de personajes y acontecimientos de la novela. Por ende, en la conclusión se afirma la hipótesis y que la obra de Isabel Allende hace un llamamiento a recordar el pasado.The realistic novel De amor y de sombra (Of Love and Shadows), by the author Isabel Allende, describes how a young couple fights against the “legalized injustice” in a fictive place that allude to Chile during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. An underlying but crucial theme in the novel is the oblivion – individual, collective and imposed. Therefore we will show by this analysis how the oblivion is presented in the novel De amor y de sombra. The hypothesis that guides our study, is that the oblivion has a greater purpose – to bring out the importance of remember the past. Through a hermeneutic method, we will found our analysis on three theories of oblivion and social oblivion when analyzing characters and occurrences in the novel. Hence, in the conclusion the hypothesis is confirmed, together with the fact that the novel by Isabel Allende makes a statement of the importance of remembering the past.

One way of remembering life as it was lived in the German Democratic Republic
(GDR) is through everyday objects. This thesis looks at the Alltagsgeschichte (history of

through material culture. Museums have collected East German material objects and
popular culture with the help of the internet and television has assisted to both preserve
and re-imagine the memories of the past.
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the cultural and economic significance of
material culture of the German Democratic Republic both before and after 1989. It seeks
to understand, how and why ex-GDR consumer objects have emerged as new historical
markers of the socialist experience and collective memory. Additionally, the thesis
explores whether East Germany, a socialist country that was despised for its poor quality
and quantity of consumer goods can be remembered after the fall of the Berlin Wall as a
genuine consumer society.
While the GDR no longer exists, its legacy is still very much alive in the renewal
and revival of a number of significant material objects. It has even manifested itself into
what is called Ostalgie, nostalgia for all things from the former GDR, including such
items as the Trabant (an East German car), the Ampelmannchen (traffic light figure) and

The aim of the present paper is to study the role that lived and historical memories havein the conformation of collective memory through the participant’s appraisals in the recent past of Argentina. These memories operate as sources that nurture collective memory. Lived memories are related to live experiences, while historical memories are related to indirect sources that inform about the past. 60 participants, divided in two groups (above and below 46 years of age) appraised the present and recent past, based on lived and historical memories. Results show that lived or autobiographical and historical memories contribute differently to collective memory.Se estudia el rol que desempeñan los recuerdos vividos e históricos en la memoria colectiva por medio de la valoración del pasado reciente argentino. Estos recuerdos operan como fuentes que nutren a la memoria colectiva. Los recuerdos vividos están vinculados a la experiencia directa, mientras que los recuerdos históricos a las fuentes indirectas que informan sobre el pasado. 60 participantes, divididos en dos grupos (mayores y menores de 46 años), realizaron valoraciones sobre el presente y el pasado reciente, en base a recuerdos vividos y en recuerdos históricos. Los resultados muestran que los recuerdos vividos o autobiográficos tienen una incidencia distinta en las valoraciones que los recuerdos históricos.

Full textAbstract:
The Centralia Tragedy of 1919 has been represented in numerous works over the course of the past 100 years. The vast majority of them concern the events of the day of the Tragedy, November 11, 1919, and whether a small group of Wobblies – members of a union group known as the International Workers of the World (I.W.W.) – opened fire on a group of parading American Legionnaires. This particular element, whether or not the Wobblies opened fire on the Legionnaires or the Legionnaires actually charged the hall where the Wobblies were staying, has generated significant concern in academic and popular literature since it occurred.
This study is less concerned with the events of the day itself, accepting that the full truth might not ever be known. It is instead focused on the collective remembering of that event, and how those recollections splintered into several strands of memory in the nearly 96 years since. It categorizes those strands into three specific ones: the official memory framework, the Labor countermemory framework, and the academic framework.
Each strand developed from early in the Tragedy’s history, starting with authors and adherents in the days after a 1920 trial. That trial, which declared the Wobblies guilty of the deaths of four Legionnaires while not holding anyone accountable for the lynching of Wobbly Wesley Everest, generated ample discord among Centralians. This lack of closure prompted the various aggrieved parties to produce books, pamphlets, speeches, protests and even a famed statue in Centralia's main park. Over time, the various perspectives congealed into the distinct strands of memory, which often flared up in conflict between 1930 and the present day.

The purpose of this dissertation is to study the poetic creation process in the book of short stories Quarto de Hora by Maria Lúcia Medeiros, published in 1994 in Belém do Pará, Brazil. It is a fictional process that, in view of the multiple stylistic marks, has similarities with the oral speech while legends or children s stories, beyond its own literary limits, in the realm of the visual arts. Two hypotheses were operated in this investigation: one relative to the ambivalent nature of the discourse in first person; the other relative to the presence of the memorialist narrative in the poetic essay. Both of them are supported on theories of the Russian Formalists, Paul Zumthor, Henri Bergson, Maurice Halbwachs, Gaston Bachelard, chiefly. The study of short stories was based on the analysis and construction of cinematographic procedures that blow up images processed as recollections of the oral illusional report. The time-space interrelation is operated in the narrative sequence by the imagination and memory, in the three chapters, as a complementary relation that results in the grasping of a fragmented and plural narrative, as a spiral figure, that has no beginning, no middle, and no end incomplete. The memory space provides the principle of creation of the legend s image in Quarto de Hora, which finds its representation in the origin of the human language, in the voice, and in gesticulations of the poetic expression at the threshold of prose
O propósito desta dissertação é estudar o processo de criação poética no livro de contos Quarto de Hora de Maria Lúcia Medeiros, publicado em 1994, em Belém do Pará, Brasil. É um processo ficcional que, em vista das múltiplas marcas estilísticas, apresenta similaridades com o discurso da oralidade, enquanto lendas ou histórias infantis, além das próprias fronteiras literárias, no domínio das artes visuais. Duas hipóteses foram trabalhadas nesta investigação: uma referente à natureza ambivalente do discurso em primeira pessoa; outra referente à presença da narrativa memorialista no ensaio poético. Ambas são fundamentadas nas teorias dos Formalistas Russos, Paul Zumthor, Henri Bergson, Maurice Halbwachs, Gaston Bachelard, principalmente. O estudo dos contos foi baseado na análise e construção de procedimentos cinematográficos, que sugerem imagens processadas como recolhas do relato da ilusão oral. A inter-relação tempo-espaço é trabalhada na seqüência narrativa pela imaginação e memória, nos três capítulos, enquanto uma relação complementar que resulta na apreensão de uma narrativa fragmentada e plural, como uma figura espiral, que não tem início, meio e fim inconclusa. O espaço da memória fundamenta o princípio da criação da imagem da lenda em Quarto de Hora, que encontra sua representação na origem da linguagem humana, na voz, e nas gestualidades da expressão poética, nos limites da prosa
