There is an intuition that the past does not ever change. In their paper ‘The puzzle of the changing past’, Luca Barlassina and Fabio Del Prete argue that in 2012 the past changed. The author shows that we are not in a position to accept their argument.

In this paper the author defends the rejection of fatalism about the past by showing that there are possible circumstances in which it would be rational to attempt to bring about by our decisions and actions a necessary and sufficient condition, other things being equal, for something which we see as favourable to have occurred in the past. The examples he puts forward are analogous to our attempts to bring about the occurrence of future events, and demonstrate the symmetry between the past and the future in this respect.

The following article will attempt to demonstrate the validity of the claim that any study of “the past” (which in the perspective adopted herein is actually seen as a study of the materiality of the present) ought to incorporate the drive towards exhibiting the trajectory of the material and conceptual permeation of the “past” into the present. The material carriers of meanings offer some rather unique help in our efforts to “absorb the proposals of the world”. The strategy adopted here has been attributed the working designation of archaeology of “second degree”, archaeology of reactivated matter, or anthropology of the secondary (or secondary assignation of meanings (matter)), which allows us to demonstrate the following: it is because of our intention (and due to our cognitive aptitude, including the technological capacity to express the “materialisation of persistence” and the “material memory”), that our historical heritage is being organized in an act of preparation for this very intention. It is due to our intention that we can observe the “true objectification” of a certain group of items (once the produced item’s existence is permanently secured, its involvement never ceases and it is bound to be revoked, remaining in the scope of the human world) and the exclusion of others. Theoretically, archaeology can contribute to a better understanding of our (contemporary) intentions and relations — both interpersonal, and those with the “past” as well as the surrounding “matter”. The governing assumption in this context is that the all-encompassing material carriers of characteristics, meanings, sense and information do not belong to the past, but rather to the present.

We confront two seemingly incompatible positions in regard to the past. One, the modal status of a proposition is unchangeable; and two, that omnipotence is trumped only by necessity.

This chapter explores the relationship between the construction of modern self and the social usage of flat image (drawing, photographic picture, painting). Through the long twenty century (from about 1890 up to 2010) in what is today the Democratic Republic of the Congo, individuals produced and shared with others images conveying the knowledge about the new world intruding into local realities. Initially in rural setting, later in cities, image helped people to share with other individual experience but also to create a space where memories about the past can be confronted with social knowledge and integrated into it. Drawings on rural hut walls, paintings on canvas hanged in an urban house living room or images painted as advertisement on walls of shops mediated between individual perception and personal memory on one side and social knowledge on the other. For a century, at the times of discontinuous emergence of the modern self, those images helped to rebuild a social community deprived by colonial and postcolonial self of political rights. The last section of the chapter explores photography by Sammy Baloji for whom image is the tool to remake his society, to reach to the past in order to restore youth’s capacity to build a future denied to them by the present day society.

The article is a reflection on the social memory of the inhabitants of cultural borderlands. The text is based on the results of empirical studies carried out in the village of Purda Wielka in 1948 and 2005, and consists of three parts. Each part shows the mutual relations between the macro- and micro-cultural (macro- and micro-historical) perspective, describing how major social and historical events affected everyday life. Particular parts concern the following topics: 'everyday commemoration', forms of commemorating past events, and the impact of changes of the educational system on everyday life.

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.
