The volume is structured on three complementary and interconnected trajectories: the public use of history, politics of memory, and transitional justice. Subsequently, the contributors deal with trauma and the reconstitution of democratic communities, with the multiple publics of historical inquiry in the context of a shift from authoritarianism to pluralism, with the competing narratives resultant of the process of Aufarbeitung, and last but not least, with the juridical and investigative efforts to acknowledge and punish the crimes and abuses of the past. It brings together historiography with memory studies, intellectual and legal history, political analysis with theoretical insight. It integrates local and regional experiences with traumatic pasts into a global structure that offers the possibility of more general conclusions about the memory of a century touched by the 'reek of cruelty'. The authors situate the process of coming to terms with the past (communism, fascism, authoritarianism, failed democracies) in Eastern Europe (including the Western Balkans) and the former Soviet space within the larger context of discussing the memory and history of the post-war period. At the same time, the European overview is compared with other cases of post-authoritarian transitions such as those in Latin America, South Africa, Japan, and the Middle East. The result is a clustered big picture of practices of remembrance, reckoning, and historiographical reevaluation"--Provided by publisher.DictatorshipSocial aspectsEurope, EasternFascismSocial aspectsEurope, EasternPost-communismEurope, EasternSocial justiceEurope, EasternDemocratizationSocial aspectsEurope, EasternMemoryPolitical aspectsEurope, EasternCollective memoryEurope, EasternEurope, EasternHistoriographyPolitical aspectsEurope, EasternHistoriographySocial aspectsEurope, EasternPolitics and government1989-DictatorshipSocial aspectsFascismSocial aspectsPost-communismSocial justiceDemocratizationSocial aspectsMemoryPolitical aspectsCollective memory323.4/90947HIS037070HIS054000POL005000bisacshTismaneanu Vladimiredt676005Iacob Bogdan912455Tismaneanu Vladimir676005Knowledge Unlatchedfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910384975603321Remembrance, History, and Justice2439307UNINA
