memory wars  

Définition(s)

  • The term memory war refers to a public debate about what constitutes the appropriate or valid “memory” of a national or transnational society or of a social subgroup such as a particular gender, region, ethnicity, culture, or religious identity. Often the controversy is about the adequate representation of “memories” within a memorial culture, such as disputes over commemorations, memorials, street names, museums, exhibitions, or archives, and within the historical sciences, the educational system, or the manifold aesthetic representations of the past, such as novels or movies.
