This article applies the concept of postmemory to demonstrate the relation of modern Mongolia to its own past and history. The authors illustrate how the experience of trauma has influenced formation of Mongolian identity. The concept presented here emerged during the anthropological field research in Mongolia 2012. The article discusses dimensions of collective memory such as identity, trauma, and traditions. These elements create spiral concept of time. The postmemory of traumatic historical collective experience of Mongolia is possible because of nonlinear temporality. Time loop allows continues reference to the power of Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire.

The article poses a question about relations between practices of medicalization and postmemory ones. The introduction includes the main similarities between two concepts mentioned above in order to explain putting them together within the article. First chapter briefly characterises the concept of medicalization in social science. Another one describes the Chernobyl catastrophe and the way its inhabitants from younger generations „remember” it. Then, the main aspects of „postmemory” are characterised such as epistemological, practical, artistic and political one. The third chapter illustrates thesis that postmemory is the main driving force for medicalization processes. The fourth reverses it and argues that medicalization itself could be the main reason for postmemory practices. Summary tries to answer the question posed in the title.

From a large group of Polish postmemory literary texts, the author distinguishes a group that is considered to be significant and separate: Rodzinna historia lęku by Agata Tuszyńska, Utwór o Matce i Ojczyźnie by Bożena Keff, Włoskie szpilki by Magdalena Tulli oraz Frascati by Ewa Kuryluk. All these works were written by women. There are stories about complicated, often difficult and painful relations between mothers and daughters. It is important that these mothers are Polish Jewesses and Holocaust survivors. Their daughters represent the “second generation”. Fathers are absent in the lives of their daughters for many reasons (divorce, death, journey). This absence enables dialogue between the mother and her adult child, which helps shape the identity of the daughter and create the story about the Holocaust experience – the most important caesura and trauma in the mother’s life.

The author suggests a possible use of postmemory to analyse the contemporary family memory of the people of Silesia. Their memoirs about WW2 (such as working for the Wehrmacht, the Red Army invading Silesia, working in labour camps, nationality verification, displacements to Germany, and deportations to Siberia) bear signs of latent memory which is rarely revealed even to the next of kin. Present mainly within the family circle, within the local society, and among friends, these memoirs integrated Silesians and made them a unique community that considers itself a stigmatized minority. This contributed to mythologizing and stereotyping the whole memory. The family memory of the past events, full of emotions and understatements, often contradicting the official version of history, has been developed by children and grandchildren who tried to learn about it and understand it. As a result of political changes that occurred in Poland after 1989 – which triggered a slow process of memory democratisation and incorporation of Silesians’ memoirs into the official history – new academic papers, memoirs, and documentaries were released. This process inspired the second and the third generations of Silesians to share ‘family myths and legends’.

The term desaparecidos refers to the people who disappeared with no traces between 1976‑1983 when the military junta took over the power in Argentina. Its functionaries fought all political adversaries with no mercy. The democratic Argentina has had to face its own tragic history, punish the criminal government and, if possible, repair harm made to its victims. At the same time, the debate on the tragic past has begun. Children of the desaparecidos, adult nowadays, try to find out the truth about their parents’ fate and, at the same time, to construct their own identity. The article focuses on the stories of the children of the desaparecidos reflected in the contemporary Argentine short novels. Two of them are taken into account: Ni muerto has perdido tu nombre by Luis Gusmán and Los topos by Félix Bruzzone. Both authors present two young men who lost their parents soon after the birth and their effort to confront traumas of the past and their consequences.

The democratic breakthrough in Poland and in other Central‑European countries led to a process of liberation and transformation of public memory. Societies, whose memory had been ‘occupied’ for decades, focused on debating the problem of identity with the fervour of neophytes. They discussed their origins and their destiny. Poland, a country that survived two occupations at the same time, is settling with the past, which has far reaching consequences both for its own self‑awareness and for its attitude towards the neighbours. However, memory freed of censorship and pressure of a single ideology becomes easily enslaved in the face of another ideology. Thus, the historical culture of Poland that is developing in the age of globalisation and numerous international challenges, is full of contradictions and questions that cannot be easily answered.

The goal of this article is to show how the memory of Chernobyl catastrophe is being reconstructed and later pass on by the guide with his narration. The example of Aleksander Sirota and his mother will show how big of a factor in constructing memory of a ‘second generation’ is played by post‑traumatic creation of a close person, as well as accumulated video recordings and photographies taken before the accident. Also, comperative approach of confronting photos with authentic ‘forgotten’ space of Pripyat city used by the tour guide will allow us to understand the level of influence in which visual aspect can affect reinterpretation of abandoned heritage. The same can be said of actual presence of a tourist in such environment and its effect on alteration of the memory of the event. The activity of Aleksander Sirota presented in this article will allow us to look at Chernobyl catastrophe through the lens of post‑memory discourse and will reveal how multilayered research issue it really is.

The paper analyses the women’s attitudes towards the First World War presented in two books by a Flemish writer, Johanna Spaey: Dood van een soldaat and De vlucht. The article concentrates on three main attitudes: afugitive, avictim and an avenger. Moreover, it also addresses the question of the relation between the Germans, i.e. the occupants, and the women’s position in the books.

The phenomenon of the translation of postmemorial novels could be interpreted as a case of a so called travelling memory. The notion of postmemory connotes a temporal shift, while the process of translation implies a spacial one. In order to study the reception of such literary works in a foreign context, it is necessary not only to take into account such aspects as the knowledge of the receiving public about their historical background and the source literary system but also the existence – or lack – of parallel literary forms of expressing memory in the target culture. In the article, conditions of the reception in Spain of three Polish postmemorial novels, Weiser Dawidek by Paweł Huelle, Hanemann by Stefan Chwin and Tworki by Marek Bieńczyk, are discussed on.

On the basis of three literary texts quoted in the title of the article, the author analyses and interprets the categories of postmemory and inherited trauma. Roman Gren and Piotr Paziński create fictious nostalgic prose, whereas Mikołaj Grynberg uses a feature genre, i.e. recorded conversations with the Auschwitz survivors’ children. The focal idea and a starting point of the discourse is Marianne Hirsch’s concept of postmemory. The authors of the selected texts attempt to face those experiences. Though differently emotionally and artistically loaded, the texts focus on searching for the traces of ancestors and reconstructing family stories, frequently shrouded in a veil of mystery. Recalling childhood memories, the characters reveal family secrets (Jewish ancestry, the Holocaust experience and repercussions) and gradually begin to understand vague and problematic family relations. All three texts aim at reconstructing the identity of the descendants of the salvaged from Extermination, which allows them to recognize themselves in social, psychological and historical dimensions.

The issue this paper refers to concerns the camp for political prisoners established in 1949 in Yugoslavia on the island of Goli otok. The primary objective of my article is to show that documentary films are a significant space for reflection on Goli otok camp. In the context of postmemory, particularly noteworthy is the film Goli from 2014, directed by Tiha K. Gudac, born in 1982. The analysis of this documentary is to present how the memory of the Goli otok prison camp works in the film and how it is transmitted. The film author belongs to the generation of the descendants of Goli otok prisoners. Goli is an attempt to confront the inherited traumatic experience of her grandfather, which – although hushed and hidden for the rest of his life – directly affected the family relationships.

This paper describes the Holocaust in modern research. The principal works in the contextof heritage trauma were penned by Barbara Engelking (Holocaust and Memory: The Experience of the Holocaust and Its Consequences: An Investigation Based on Personal Narratives) and Marianne Hirsh (Żałoba i postpamięć [Mourning and Postmemory]). Their analyses show how different were the attitudes taken by people who survived the Holocaust. I have completed my work with other research, focusing on the literature discussing psychological and political aspects. The aim was to show the diversity of the effects produced by the Holocaust and its unfading resonance in various areas of life.

The Cartographer of Juan Mayorga was inspired by a visit to Warsaw in 2008. The author went on a ‘walk through an invisible Warsaw’, as he himself described it. It was a journey which followed the places pictured in photographs from the ghetto, which Mayorga saw at an exhibition at the Nożyki Synagogue. I was able to find them. Since photographs play an ‘essential role as a medium of postmemory’, as stressed by Marianne Hirsch, one of the leading researchers on postmemory processes in her paper The Generation of Postmemory, I would like to consider the means by which the photographs from the ghetto have initiated the effect of (affiliative) postmemory on this contemporary playwright (born in 1965), who has no connection to the Holocaust either through his family or even national background. I would also like to explore their effect on the dramatic developments of The Cartographer which take place within two time frames – Warsaw in 1940 as well as contemporarily.

The article attempts to interpret the novel Mirabelle in the light of hauntology, taken from Jacques Derrida’s works, existing in the Polish literary studies first and foremost thanks to the works of Jakub Momro and Andrzej Marzec. Harasimowicz’s novel recounts the history of Warsaw from the 1920s until the present-day period. The mirabelle plum tree growing on one of the backyards in Warsaw tells the story of the following generations of the city dwellers who fade away and fall into oblivion. The Holocaust, depicted in the beginning of the novel, does not, however, become the past. The recollection of the genocide is inscribed in contemporary Warsaw, in the city space and the consciousness of its inhabitants. The phantoms of the former dwellers of Nalewki, the Jewish district in Warsaw, visit their homes, little stores, and workshops, trying to end unfinished businesses and engaging with the representatives of the present-day citizens. The gesture of remembrance, which is the replanting and redeveloping a new mirabelle tree in the place of the damaged one, gives people hope for the restoration of balance and strengthens the bonds between the living and the dead.

This article considers how Sarah Schulman in her novel Rat Bohemia and other works utilizes her intersectional position as a Jewish lesbian writer to bear witness to her experience of AIDS epidemic. It analyzes how Schulman represents family as an institution of power to hold it accountable for the spread of AIDS epidemic in the context of her postmemory of Holocaust. It deals also with mechanisms of alignment with power within the gay community itself. Finally, it focuses on the central symbol of rats in Rat Bohemia understood as an indexical sign of the obscene. All these issues are theorized in the context of the problem of witnessing as strategies to write a testimony that remains loyal to the community and the reality of a crisis event.

The article contains an analysis of the construction of the narrative of the Shoah, using motifs from the Book of Esther. Non‑fiction book: Code of Esther, 2013 (Le Code d’Esther, 2012), written by French journalists: Bernard Benyamin and Yohan Perez is a record of investigative journalism. During the investigation various interpretations of the “enigmatic” words of Julius Streicher – a Nazi war criminal in the context of the biblical text are recalled. The title of the book and its cover’s design predicts sensation while the attractiveness of the communication is achieved by using of multimedia elements (online videos illustrating the described events, accessible through QR codes placed in the book), and an invitation to interact through thematic websites, social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. The authors, belonging to the “second generation”, derive knowledge and experiences through mediation, which is the reason of the treatment of the book in terms of post‑memory.

In the graphic memoir I Was a Child of Holocaust Survivors (2006) Bernice Eisenstein examines her identity as a second generation survivor, tells stories about her parents, and depicts the community of survivors in Toronto. Eisenstein’s memoir is most often described as a graphic novel. However, the book is a specific combination of words and drawings, and can be hard to categorize. In my paper I focus on Eisenstein’s complex relationship with her father presented in the novel, and argue that the way she writes about him and draws him is anchored in his unsaid Holocaust experience. I read Eisenstein’s portrayal of her father in reference to the concept of postmemory, and suggest that Eisenstein was heavily affected by her father’s experience of being a Holocaust survivor. Her deep connection to the past is demonstrated in I Was a Child of Holocaust Survivors through drawings, selected memories, and references to numerous works of culture. I discuss how Eisenstein draws her father and how she commemorates him in images – not as a victim, but as extremely strong personas: movie star, gangster or sheriff. I analyze the role of shtetl culture in the memoir as another way of linking present with past. I suggest that the books and movies about the Holocaust which Eisenstein references in the memoir create a basis for changing the confusing, or even unexpressed traumas, into an understandable story.

The narrativization of the trauma in the process of artistic narration contributes processing traumatic experience, is an important element of constructing of autobiography, gives a chance to retrieve own history, which is not overshadowed with tragic parental discourse, helps to achieve balance between traumatic and positive contents of autobiographical memory, fulfills interpsychological functions.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Alexei Balabanov constructs the image of contemporary Russian collective identity around the idea of the post-dependence on the traumatic Soviet experience in Cargo 200. The director shows in his movie a post-Soviet society that is paralyzed by traumatic past. The main context of the analysis is “postmemory”, a category introduced by Marianne Hirsch. The idea of postmemory is based on the belief that trauma can be worked-through by the reconstruction of the past events. On the other hand, it underlines the dangerous impact of repressed traumatic memories on the collective identity of the group. Another theoretical and methodological framework is Aleida and Jan Assmann’s concept of communicative and cultural memory, since the director based his film on the cultural traditions and texts widely known in Russian culture (primarily the works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky). Balabanov, by the usage of historical costume, tried to force the Russian audience to work through the trauma of the past.
