Triple Victimhood: On the Mnemonic Confluence of the Holocaust, Stalinist Crime, and Colonial Genocide
This reflection article scrutinizes the mnemonic confluence and entanglements of the triple victimhood- the Holocaust, the crimes of colonialism, and Stalinist terror- on a global scale. The thaw of frozen memories in the post-Cold War era released the oppressed memories of Stalinist terror and Nazi collaboration in Eastern Europe. In the tri-continent of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the fall of communism also signalled the release of suppres…
Mnemonic Solidarity: Global Interventions
This open access book provides a concise introduction to a critical development in memory studies. A global memory formation has emerged since the 1990s, in which memories of traumatic histories in different parts of the world, often articulated in the terms established by Holocaust memory
History and Nationalism
Nationalism emerged almost simultaneously with the formation of history as a modern discipline. National history has dominated a disciplinary form of history since the emergence of modern historiography, which contributed to establishing nationalism as the regime of truth and the nation state as a natural unit of history. But the paradox is that nationalism is not national but transnational; and national history is not exempt from this paradox. T…
Mass Dictatorship and Memory As Ever Present Past
A Postcolonial Reading of the Sonderweg: Marxist Historicism Revisted
A Postcolonial Reading of the Sonderweg: Marxist Historicism Revisted This article deals with the Sonderweg thesis by reconciling David Blackbourn and Geoff Eley's criticism of the German Sonderweg with a postcolonial critique of Marxist historicism. The global trajectory of Marxist historiography shows that the «singularity » of the Sonderweg came to be conceptually translated as «particularity» within the Eurocentric and capitalocentric «univer…
Victimhood Nationalism in Contested Memories: National Mourning and Global Accountability
The most frequent misunderstanding of nationalism is that nationalism is national. Nationalism is one of the most peculiar transnational phenomena in that nationalist imagination can be fed only in transnational space. Victimhood nationalism is no exception since victims without perpetrators are unthinkable, and vice versa. The collective dichotomy of victimizers and victims in national terms articulates the transnationality of nationalism. Once …
Victimhood Nationalism and History Reconciliation in East Asia
‘Victimhood nationalism’ is a working hypothesis to explicate competing national memories over the historical position of victims in coming to terms with the pasts. Once put into the dichotomy of victimizers and victims in national terms, the victimhood becomes hereditary and thus consolidates the national solidarity beyond generations. Without a reflection on the victimhood nationalism, the postwar Vergangenheitsbewäeltigung cannot be properly g…
Appendix: Introduction to TMPR special issue 6.3, ‘Political Religions and the Sacralisation of Politics’
The following was due to appear as the Introduction to the six articles of the special issue on: ‘Political Religions and the Sacralisation of Politics’ published in TMPR issue 6.3. Owing to an oversight in the last stages of production, the introduction by Peter Lambert and Jie‐Hyun Lim was omitted, and is republished here as an Appendix to the double issue 8.3/4 on the occasion of the publication of five more articles based on the same conferen…
Historiographical Perspectives on ‘Mass Dictatorship’
‘Mass dictatorship’ as a working hypothesis starts from a simple question: what is the difference between pre‐modern despotism and modern dictatorship? My tentative answer is that despotism does no
Conference Report Coercion and Consent: A Comparative Study of ‘Mass Dictatorship’
What is the difference between pre-modern despotism and modern dictatorship? The answer is simple: despotism does not need massive backing from below, but dictatorship presupposes the support of the masses. This simple distinction is the starting point of the three-year ‘mass dictatorship’ project, launched in December 2002 with the financial support of the Korea Research Foundation and Hanyang University, Seoul. The project aims to position Kore…
From Hard History to Soft History: Cultural Histories of the Korean Working Class
Korean democratic trade unionism entered the international spotlight for its militancy and massive upsurge in the 1990s, while labor movements in advanced countries had been on the ebb. When the lifelong work of “heavy modernity” was replaced by the labor flexibility of “light modernity,” workers' solidarity gave way to individual workers' solitude. This explains why the trade union movement is more powerful in developing countries such as Korea,…
The Good Old Cause” in the New Polish Left Historiography
Rosa Luxemburg on the Dialectics of Proletarian Internationalism and Social Patriotism
Red Rosa was not a national nihilist, despite common misperceptions. She was well aware of the intrinsic value of the national language and culture. Her concept of territorial autonomy stood on a broader scale than even the Austro-Marxists' concept of cultural autonomy. In the final instance, however, she failed to advance to a fully dialectical recognition of revolutionary internationalism and social patriotism because of her deeply rooted oppos…
Marx's Theory of Imperialism and the Irish National Question
The Irish national question is located on a turning point in the evolution of Marx's and Engels' thought with respect to national and colonial issues. Discussing the Irish national question, Marx and Engels succeeded in escaping from their earlier Eurocentric view. Rudimentary recognition of imperialism as the new historical reality helped them to overcome the Eurocentric and capitalocentric view inherent in the earlier historical materialist con…
