Australia’s “Moment of Truth” and the Burden of Historical Proof
The intensification of efforts since the turn of the millenium to uncover and map sites where massacres of indigenous Australians are said to have taken place during the frontier wars participate in what Mark McKenna calls “Australia’s moment of truth”—the culmination of the work of diverse agencies to recover “forgotten” histories and remake Australia’s national narrative by coming to terms with its violent colonial past. Yet, substantiating vio…
Retour sur « Histoires de l’oubli / Histories of Forgetting » (dir. Matthew Graves et Valérie André, e-Rea, 10.1, 2012)
Si la question de la mémoire est au cœur du « tournant culturel » pris par les historiens depuis les années 1980, au point de devenir « la signature historique de notre génération » selon Jay Winter dans sa réflexion sur le « boom de la mémoire » du XXème siècle finissant, son pendant – l’oubli (sous ses formes volontaires comme involontaires) – n’est pas resté loin de leurs préoccupations. Plus d’un siècle avant que Paul Ricœur ne se penche sur …

Rust and dust
In this article, the authors explore the potential of state-sponsored memory sites to engender multi-chronological and sensorial accounts of the past, and create new meanings for visitors in doing so. They do this by recounting first-hand experiences of the Camp des Milles, a Second World War internment and deportation camp in the south of France, near Aix-en-Provence. Inaugurated in 2012, in addition to being an official lieu de mémoire, Camp de…
Imagining Geographies, Mapping Identities
The ambition of this issue of Portal is to reach across the methodological boundaries of history, politics, literature and geography to apply their complementary perspectives to the study of identity and its relation to space and place, an aim that involves attempting to identify the many different ways the notoriously slippery concepts of identity and geography may intersect.For this issue we have selected articles that cast a fresh perspective …

Mapping Utopia
From the 16th century on, the great Southern continent figured in the European literary and political imagination as a field for utopian thought. While we might expect such Arcadian essays to tail off as the colonisation of Australia proceeded apace in the late 18th, early 19th centuries, such was not the case: there are many examples of utopian literature set in Australia in the 19th and 20th centuries, and several examples from the 1830s , the …
Memory and Forgetting on the National Periphery
The assassination of the King of Yugoslavia, Alexander Ist by Croatian terrorists during a state visit to Marseilles on 9 October 1934 is commemorated by a modest plaque on the Canebière and a little known monument outside the Préfecture. Although the histories of the period cite the event in passing, it is treated as a footnote in the political history of France and has been all but erased from the memory of the city. While there are good reason…

From Collective Memory to Transcultural Remembrance
Over the last thirty or so years, historians and social scientists have undertaken a wide ranging exploration of the processes involved in forgetting and remembering, with a particular focus on the level of the nation-state. Their interest corresponds to the period that Pierre Nora, the French historian responsible for the ground-breaking Les Lieux de memoire in the 1980s, terms the ‘era of commemoration,’ drawing attention to what he describes a…
