Bartosz Korzeniewski Rituals of Atonement, Changes in Valorisation of Violence and the Paradoxes of Multiculturalism The essay addresses changes in attitudes to violence in postmodern societies. Violence is approached along Foucauldian lines, yet at the same time placed within its contemporary, i.e. multicultural context. It is related to (individual and especially communal) phenomena of grief, memory, commemoration, atonement and reparation. The author sets out to capture trajectories of change in the social rites and as material for analysis looks at the complex situations arising, on the one hand, from public rites of atonement in the post-war Polish-German­Jewish relations (in the post-Holocaust context), and one the other, various routes of escape from the burden of guilty past. The dialectics and various paradoxes arising from these tensions are treated from the perspective of Slavoj ZiIek's views on politics in the era of multiculturalism.

This article aims to reflect on the meaning attributed to objects from the past in the contemporary transformations of memory. As the direct access to the past is not possible, objects are seen not only a link with the past, but they also acquire new references and meanings. In particular, the author is interested in two phenomena: on the one hand in an increasing interest in objects coming from the past with little or no artistic value and on the other hand in the tendency to transform some objects into symbols and consider them a kind of “lieux de mémoire”. The author examined thoroughly ways of inscribing those objects into the memory frame showing the cultural background of the phenomena. He also tried to answer a question whether we can really place our hopes in such objects and view them as reliable links with the past.
