Representations of Collective Memory in Georgia, Armenia, Abkhazia and Nagorno Karabakh
The book is a unique proposal for an integral description of memory regimes in the South Caucasus region, covering both the independent states of Armenia and Georgia, but also the separatist entities created as a result of the turbulent changes of the early 1990s - Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Being a transdisciplinary proposal, encompassing the perspectives of political science, history and social anthropology, the book may be of interest to researchers from different academic disciplines. At the same time, due to its narrative form, it can also be an interesting proposal for students of eastern studies, allowing for a fuller understanding of the dynamics of political change in the post-Soviet space. The comprehensive and integral approach to the issue of analysing and interpreting collective memory through the prism of its representation, presented in the form of an anthropological story based on case studies, may also be of interest to those not associated with institutional Academia.
Formy ekspresji podmiotowości nowoczesnej. Tożsamość indywidualna i zbiorowa w poezji polskiej schyłku XVIII i początku XIX wieku
W powszechnej świadomości polska poezja ostatnich dekad XVIII i początku XIX wieku jest zjawiskiem nieciekawym i nieatrakcyjnym, najczęściej dyskutowanym z perspektywy nadchodzącego romantyzmu, na tle którego wypada zawsze niekorzystnie. Książka ta wyrasta z przekonania, że twórczość takich poetów, jak m.in. Franciszek Karpiński, Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, Józef Morelowski, Jan Paweł Woronicz, Hugo Kołłątaj czy Cyprian Godebski, przynosi wiele pytań dotyczących kwestii fundamentalnych, związanych z problematyką tożsamości zarówno w jej wymiarze indywidualnym, jak i zbiorowym. Specyfika tego okresu, kształtowanego przez zjawiska ogólnoeuropejskie, które sprzyjały k...
Pathways to Agonism
This book focuses on managing competing memories of disputed territories in Eastern and Central Europe, the Caucasus and South Asia. Through an empirical, practice-oriented approach it explores memory work undertaken by institutions and social actors in different cultural and national settings. The book identifies examples of agonistic engagement with the memory of disputed territories that have the potential to build trust-based relationships between divided communities and overcome antagonistic separation through mutually beneficial joint enterprises. The volume also highlights blind spots and shortcomings of the agonistic approach by focusing on socio-political conditions that might hinder or prevent the broader dissemination of this memory mode.
Museums and Sites of Persuasion
Museums and Sites of Persuasion examines the concept of museums and memory sites as locations that attempt to promote human rights, democracy and peace. Demonstrating that such sites have the potential to act as powerful spaces of persuasion or contestation, the book also shows that there are perils in the selective memory and history that they present. Examining a range of museums, memorials and exhibits in places as varied as Burundi, Denmark, Georgia, Kosovo, Mexico, Peru, Vietnam and the US, this volume demonstrates how they represent and try to come to terms with difficult histories. As sites of persuasion, the contributors to this book argue, their public goal is to use memory and educ...
