Between the Memory and Post-Memory of Communism in Romania
Routledge (Verlag)
9781032559636 (ISBN)
The first of its kind, this book traces the construction of post-memory in post-communist Romania.
Focusing on the processes, gaps, agents, and contradictions of post-memory, it examines a range of topics across a variety of disciplines, addressing questions of museums and musealization, law and memory, political trials and retrospective justice, and post-memory in a digital context, while also considering marginalized and forgotten voices, such as those of the Roma population and abandoned children. Moving away from a focus on the institutional mechanisms of transitional justice or officially sanctioned historical narratives, Between the Memory and Post-Memory of Communism in Romania brings together some of the leading voices in the field of memory studies in Romania to adopt a more pluralistic and diverse approach to the communist past.
It will therefore appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, museum studies, and history with interests in the communist period in Eastern Europe.
