The author confronts homogenous linear model of history of national literatures based on exclusion, alteration, singularity, and juvenility. Model of the literary history is presented as a synoptic map presenting poly-functionality, poly-focal and poly-perspective characters, poly-chronic and poly-territorial aspects. He proposed a concept of trans-local Middle-European national literary history coming out from their inner difference and outer plurality, and their belonging to the cultural memory of the Middle-Europe.

The author of this paper presents the fundamental ideas of a research project that is directed at the topical questions of the relation between language and culture in the Slovak language milieu. He focuses the attention on four aspects of this relation. (1) Language as a medium of culture. The cardinal question is how works the language as a constituent of the cultural memory. (2) Language as a medium of the formation of culture. The central problem is the role of the language in the process of creation of the mental and social culture. (3) Language as a product of culture. This aspect concerns the nature of the language perceived as a cultural phenomenon. (4) Language as an object of cultivation. The question is what a culture of the cultivation of the standard language is adequate with regard to the current conditions of his using.

The localities of Vysná and Nizná Boca emerged in 13th century as mining settlements. Since 17th century the mining there had been declining until it disappeared in 19th century. As a source of living it had been replaced by meadow farming, cattle breeding, shepherding and logging. Since 1950s people have been leaving Vysná and Nizná Boca in a search of job in the cities, until the number of inhabitants radically decreased. Cattle breeding and shepherding diminished. Empty houses and meadow stalls were purchased by people from bigger cities who began to use them for recreational purpose. These changes led to the third transformation of economy and life style in Vysná and Nizná Boca. The function of cultural heritage and cultural memory has also changed: they became the main pillars of contemporary tourism.

In the culture of remembrance concerning the authors of Slovak Romantic literature, the poet Janko Kráľ (1822 – 1876) holds a distinctive position. Even though his oeuvre was not published in book form during his life and his last resting place remains unknown, since the 1920, his name and literary heritage have been gradually gaining a stable position in the Slovak literature as an independent topos. Mechanisms of the creation of literary representations of Janko Kráľ in which the character of references also depended on the choice of the genre can be defined as a process in several stages: rescuing the poet from oblivion (Vladimír Roy – poem dedicated to the centenary of the poet’s death, 1922) interpretation (Štefan Krčméry – speech at the unveiling of the memorial plaque on the house in which J. Kráľ was born, 1924), updating (Laco Novomeský – review of the volume Ňeznáme básňe Janka Kráľa [Janko Kráľ’s unknown poems], 1938), ideological narratives (speeches at the transfer of the remains of the poet to the national cemetery in Martin, 1940) – inspiration (Milan Rúfus, interpretive essay, 1976). These examples of remembrance practice connected with J. Kráľ outline the processes of familiarisation and canonisation. The transformations are reactions to the period social contexts, but also reflect the dynamics of cultural memory.

Based on the analysis of the texts by the Hungarian writer Péter Esterházy Harmonia cælestis and A simple story comma a hundred pages − the fencing version (Jednoduchý príbeh čiarka sto strán − šermovacia verzia), the study reflects on the character/specifics/possibilities of the idea of postmodern historiography that the historical novel as a form of articulating the past contributes to the creation of collective memory. The first novel is understood as a text that elaborates cultural and communicative memory (J. Assmann), the second is approached from the perspective of narrative social psychology (J. László). Possible postmodern answers to the question are found in the structural choices of narratives based on historical material.

The author asks: was W. Benjamin an intellectual connected exclusively with European, or Jewish traditions of thought, or was he also a pioneer of cultural difference, gaining relevance, above all, today, in the epoch of globalization of culture? From the amount of Benjamin's examples of non-European art, possibly marginal remarks spread throughout his theoretical and critical work since 1920s till his death, it can be shown, that the construction of his extensive and ambivalent theory of culture (including the notions incorporated in the essay 'The Work of Art in the Age of its Technical Reproduction'), was permanently determined by his subliminal interest in geographically distant civilizations. Benjamin considered them an important means of critical self-experience, and questioning of Eurocentrism. The author shows that Benjamin's way of thinking corresponds to the post-colonial discourse not only in the meta-theoretical way, but particularly by means of understanding of the concreteness of non-European cultures. But, at the same time, he exalts the fact that the approximation of the non-European in Benjamin deals both with 'material semi-exoticism', and his notion of individual and collective cultural memory.

The article deals with internet memes related to the person of the socialist leader of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito. For purposes of our research, we define internet meme as conventionalized text-iconic composition, built on a basis of a specific scheme. In intentions of contemporary narratology we also consider it as a text of its kind and its creating, reproduction, transformation and reading process – as a special discursive activity. Based on analysing the primary material occurring and spreading on internet, we provide a typology of the representations of Tito from a narratological and semiotic point of view, and regarding its function in current discourse on socialist Yugoslavia. We focus mainly on cultural meanings generated by this meme culture, its relation to the narratives formed in the context of official and unofficial representations of the leader during the socialist era and to a wider context of contemporary popular culture. Pursuant to the analysis, we try to follow the features of postmodern cultural images of the socialist Yugoslavia and its leader, and relation of these narratives to nostalgic and social-critical attitudes in the contemporary world.

Literary texts can be understood as a media of collective memory; through selection, reconstruction, and updating of chosen topoi, images, or personalities in the context of memory studies. They perform such functions as forming the understanding of the past, transfer of historical images, construction of memory relations, or reflection of the processes and problems of collective memory. In this sense, literature forms collective images of the development and meaning of past events, eminent personalities of the past, interprets the present, and projects the future. Moreover, for an understanding the symbolic meaning of the elements for which Pierre Nora coined the term places of memory and Jan Assmann conceptualised as figures of memory, processes of reception and context are also crucial. This theoretical background determines also the approach to literary and literary-journalistic texts related to representatives of Slovak literary Romanticism born in 1822 (Ján Francisci, Janko Kráľ, Ján Kalinčiak, Ján Palárik, Štefan Marko Daxner, and Peter Michal Bohúň) and – in the case of Andrej Sládkovič, in 1820. This group formed a strong national revivalist generation whose literary representations provide all three types of collective memory identified by J. Assmann: communicative, cultural, and political.

This article discusses two novels written in Arabic by diasporic Iraqi women writers: The Wall by Laylā Tshurāġī, published in 2009, and Qismat by Ḥawrā’ an-Nadāwī, published in 2018. The works are devoted to Fayli Kurds and thus represent a noticeable trend in recent Iraqi fiction towards (re)discovering Iraq’s ethno-religious minorities. In contrast to the vast majority of literary texts by Iraqi Arab authors that include secondary Kurdish characters, the novels by Tshurāġī and an-Nadāwī provide an insightful portrayal of the collective fate of Fayli Kurds in Iraq and Iran and in exile in the West in the 20th and 21st centuries. In the article, these two novels are examined as fictions of memory, in line with Birgit Neumann’s concept. The Wall is considered as an autobiographical memory novel, while Qismat is scrutinized as a communal memory novel. Both works are concerned with the marginalised memories and ethno-religious identity of Fayli Kurds, and provide a stage for depicting individual and collective acts of remembering by their fictional representatives. In the final section of the article, conclusions are drawn with respect to these works and other selected studies in cultural memory.

The article examines how the war narrative is displayed in modern European museum exhibitions, particularly in light of new museology and cultural memory trends in Germany and Poland. The study recognises that the contested nature of cultural and historical contexts influences the process of representing cultural memory in museum narratives. It combines the theoretical approach of museology with specific museum practices. Using case studies from the Bundeswehr Museum of Military History, Dresden, Germany; the Documentation Centre for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation, Berlin, Germany; and the Museum of the Second World War, Gdansk, Poland, the author examines the impact of challenging issues centred on cultural memory of the war in museum exhibitions over recent decades. The study underlines the significance of innovative approaches to museum exhibitions that display the experience of war and contribute to social dialogue and sustainability.

In this article, changes in the meanings attributed to and local relations with General Gablenz's memorial – a local monument and reminder of the 1866 Prussian-Austrian War – are observed over the period from its construction to the present. First, the role of the memorial in memory studies is presented in terms of its semiotic-content structures and three basic functions of festivities that establish its social significance. Second, the use of historical consciousness or local cultural memory is considered as a methodical concept for the study of this monument, which fulfilled a social role not at the national level, but only in the regional context within the collective memory of the local community. Third, the concept of local culture memory is applied and described from the point of view of various actors (subjects of memory places) of commemorative practices (military associations, city leaders, etc.) during the ceremonial inauguration of the monument in 1868, during the solemn deposition of General Gablenz’s relicts in the monument in 1905, and during the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the deposition of those relicts in 2005. It is obvious that the significance of this monument as a place of memory has been shaped by the local community, but at the same time it itself became an important source of identity for this society because of its ability to preserve his living memory.

The traditional building techniques include plenty of information and affirmations that can be purposefully applied in the process of creating and improving the cultural memory of the society. Revitalization of traditional techniques in folk architecture means in this case the 'revival of historical manufacture procedures'. In practice, they are done for different reasons and needs. However, the struggle to protect the knowledge from being fully forgotten is the primary one. Nevertheless, only the finding of renewed social legitimacy for traditional techniques and the active social use mean the real revitalization. The functionality of the revived techniques is the necessary condition for legitimate revitalization. It is especially the museum memory institutions and the institutions of monument preservation that can try to revitalize the historical phenomena successfully. Those institutions have namely the opportunity to research the original and authentic element, to read necessary information in them, to analyze the information scientifically and to verify and apply them. Especially the open-air museums with their nature comply with the conditions of experimental centers that offer the unique chance to revitalize the traditional techniques in folk architecture in the most real and historically identical appearance.

The goal of the study is to place the poetry of Jan Smrek's 'sunny books' into the wider philosophical, artistic and cultural-aesthetic context of the early 20th century. The influence of Bergson's philosophy on the artistic thinking, culture and sensibility of modernist literature of the time proves to be more and more significant. In the context of the philosophy of life (Bergson, Dilthey, etc.) and related artistic-aesthetic, philosophical and psychological concepts (Husserl, Jung, Steiner, Guardini, etc.) it can be seen revitalisation of religion, mythology and spirituality, whose sources can be traced back to German idealistic philosophy, romanticism and the tradition of hermetic-esoteric sciences. With the intention of reconstructing culture, values and meaning, several modernist artistic-aesthetic manifestos (Anglo-American modernism, Russian acmeism etc.) turn to the principle of cultural memory and the tradition, which they reformed by modern means. Those attempts are developed within the intentions of Bergsonism. The identical dynamic understanding of a tradition can be found in Jan Smrek's artistic-aesthetic manifestos. In a narrower context, the influence of the vitalism-oriented Czech thinking (the artistic branch - Neumann, Sramek and the theoretical-aesthetic branch - K. Capek, J. Capek, Salda, Cerny) on then forming Smrek's poetics and aesthetic beliefs is also interesting. The gain of the study can be clear with regard to the fact that the influence of Bergsonism and vitalism on Smrek's poetry has not yet been analysed or researched. The most important is to grasp Smrek's aesthetic gesture in a wider context of artistic and theoretical thinking of the time.

The article reports a case study of oral recollections of the descendants of special settlers, i.e. peasants who were dekulaked and deported to the Arkhangelsk region in the early 1930s. The region was previously a part of the Northern Krai. A historiographical review related to the research topic has been carried out. The concepts of dekulakization in the USSR and destinies of dekulaked are discussed in the local context. The stories of the descendants of the special settlers analysed in the article result from semi-structured interviews. These stories form a hypertext. We select stable motifs of oral stories recorded from the descendants of the special settlers. Conclusions are drawn about the characteristics of the cultural memory of the descendants of the special settlers. The article deals with the features of family identity and the role of awareness of the fate of their relatives in this identity. The children and grandchildren of the special settlers have different attitudes towards dekulakization of the families of their ancestors. This is driven by the diversity of behaviours, choices and particular circumstances of their life. The interpretation is grounded in the idea of variability of the process of special resettlements and its dependence on the regional context, and on the method of family history.

This article deals with the ways the Russian writers Sergei Lebedev and Maria Stepanova conceptualize memory, remembering, and the past. The special focus is on the presence of sincerity rhetoric and its intertwinement with memory in Lebedev’s Liudi avgusta (The people of August, 2016) and Stepanova’s Pamiati pamiati (2018; In Memory of Memory, 2021). At first, the study outlines the current position of memory studies within literary theory and the main tendencies of cultural memory development in post-Soviet Russia. Lebedev’s and Stepanova’s novels are then comparatively read on this cultural-theoretical and cultural-historical background. The crucial aspect can be considered the ethos of “curative sincerity” (Ellen Rutten’s concept) that both texts seem to rely on. We approach Lebedev’s and Stepanova’s texts as examples of post-memorial writing, which does not rely on the first-hand experience with the past it depicts, but encounters the mediatized forms of the past. Therefore, imagination plays an important role for the narrator or authorial subject. The imaginative investment into remembrance accompanies the attempts to sincerely retell the truth about the past, while being aware of the impossibility of retelling the whole truth, which leads to an understanding of predecessors’ actions with empathy and compassion.

Illustrating the recent exhibition Estranged / Obcy w domu, the author wonders if, and how, contemporary Polish visual art has contributed to integrating the shame of the anti-Semitic campaign into the collective memory of the nation. She focuses in particular on the works of three artists: Krystyna Piotrowska, Erna Rosenstein, and Krzysztof Wodiczko, and on how the exhibition represents some currents in visual studies linked to historical narrative.

Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew, which is not obvious to all present-day Christians, which is why they should be reminded of it. For some Jews, Jesus is becoming part of Jewish tradition these days, which is neither obvious to all, which is why the author draws attention to this dimension of contemporary Judaic faith. But both one and the other aspect are but an external manifestation of much more profound processes examined in this article. The ever broader scope of the findings of archaeological, linguistic, religious or mass media studies (which examine the impact of technological change on the methods of passing down tradition), as well as anthropological ones are responsible for the fact that its historical nature and an element of chance are nowadays widely accepted phenomena. The realization of this simple fact could significantly simplify mutual relations between the followers of Judaism and Christianity. Seen from this perspective, Jesus will be a uniting, not a divisive, factor.

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.

The mode of perception of National Socialism and its positioning in the history of Germany played a fundamental role in the development of the country's political culture. The establishment of two German states founded on different political systems entailed far reaching consequences for the cultural memory of the divided society. The contradiction inherent in the construction of a post-war order of Germans consisted in the discrepancy between a negative, discredited past and the need for an acceptable image in order to build a positive identity of the new state. From the onset, GDR propaganda developed a strategy of overcoming the past, based on the ideology of antifascism. It gave the multitudes embroiled in Nazism the opportunity to free themselves from a feeling of guilt and integrated the society around future oriented slogans in confrontation with the West German state.
