History beyond disciplinarity
Afterword—Beyond agonism? Dialogic remembering, social change, and slow memory
This afterword situates the special issue within current debates in memory studies. The concept of “dialogical remembering” opens a productive conversation with “agonistic memory,” developing a relational and non-binary approach to conflictual pasts. Moreover, the concept is a productive methodological and analytical complement to the perspective of “slow memory” providing one of the means by which slow memory instances can be empirically traced
Solidarity
This article rethinks solidarity as a “Slow Memory” concept, drawing on life-story interviews with retired trade unionists across Europe. While often framed as a cornerstone of labor history, solidarity has never held a singular meaning; its uses have shifted across ideological traditions and historical contexts. The article combines conceptual history with the framework of a Slow Memory approach, emphasizing how meaning emerges incrementally thr…
Memory Studies and History
Against the background of how interdisciplinary Memory Studies emancipated itself from academic History over the last century, we examine current research trends through a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the two main journals of the field, namely Memory Studies and History and Memory. On this basis, we discuss how the relationship between Memory Studies and History operates in the interdisciplinary practice of today’s humanities and soci…

Narrative(s) of Return and the Gendered Memory Politics of Post-1989 Transformation
This article has two main objectives. First, it proposes an analytical framework for how to explore “narratives of return” as policy proposals and tools of memory politics. Second, it reveals coexisting versions of “return” advocated by three Polish political actors: the populist right-wing Law and Justice party (“Return” to the Nation), Catholic activists (“Return” to Religion), and representatives of liberal feminism (“Return” to Women’s Rights…
Who Cares for Families? Narrative(s) of Return in Postsocialist Europe
This introduction to the thematic cluster “Who Cares for Families? Narrative(s) of Return in Postsocialist Europe” identifies and analyzes its core concept—the narrative of return. Families of today are talked about differently, and how they are narrativized matters. The narrative that stresses that family is under threat and in need of defense or a special form of care, figuring care as restitution of the natural, traditional, or proper family, …
Regions of Memory
This contributed volume analyzes transnational constellations of memory across and between several geographical areas
New constellations of mnemonic wars
This special issue titled Mnemonic Wars: New Constellations has two objectives. First, it maps some of the current memory conflicts in different parts of the world, focusing on their topics and novel political, cultural and social constellations. Second, the issue problematizes how the different currents of revitalized national politics and globalization processes influence and sometimes even trigger memory wars. Who are the contemporary memory a…
Regions of Memory
Duality of Decolonizing
This research essay contributes to the special issue “Decolonizing European Colonial Heritage in Urban Spaces” by examining memory activist art projects focused on three heritage sites in Warsaw from the perspective of the “decolonial option” as conceived by Madina Tlostanova. The essay’s theoretical framework draws from memory studies and critical heritage studies by applying the notions of memory activism, heritage repression, reframing and re-…
Rzeczy i opowieści. Muzeum Warszawy wobec modelu muzeum narracyjnego
Autorzy rekonstruują założenia i odbiór nowej wystawy głównej Muzeum Warszawy „Rzeczy warszawskie” (otwartej dla publiczności w latach 2017-2018), której przygotowanie stanowiło część gruntownej transformacji tej placówki, a jednocześnie było próbą zakwestionowania reguł działalności współczesnych muzeów narracyjnych. Na tym przykładzie analizują, w jakim stopniu nowa odsłona muzeum miejskiego, które wykorzystało specyfikę własnej kolekcji i ogło…
Making Modern Social Science
The events of 1914 initiated the redrawing of many boundaries, both geopolitical and intellectual. At the outbreak of the war the London-based anthropologist Bronisław Malinowski was at a professional meeting in Australia. Technically an ‘enemy alien’ (a Pole of Austro-Hungarian citizenship), he was barred from returning to Britain; stranded in Australia, under surveillance by authorities and with insecure finances, Malinowski began fieldwork in …
From Durkheim to Czarnowski
The Durkheimian School of sociology was one of the most comprehensive programmes ever developed in the social sciences. This article contributes to those accounts of the School that discuss its intergenerational, interdisciplinary and international transformations after the Great War. From this perspective, the article presents the case of a Polish scholar, Stefan Czarnowski (1879–1937), whose early work on the cult of St. Patrick in Ireland beca…
Provincializing memory studies
The history of memory studies has usually been told through research perspectives advanced in France, Germany and the United States. This well-established cartography and, thus, chronology of the field can be challenged while taking into account other provinces of thought. The example of Polish sociology and history shows that the Western memory boom took off just at the time when the golden age of the biographical method reached its apex in Pola…
Memories of 1989 in Europe between Hope, Dismay, and Neglect
This article is part of the special section titled The Genealogies of Memory, guest edited by Ferenc Laczó and Joanna Wawrzyniak This introduction to the special section on memories of 1989 calls for a closer analysis of various ways in which narratives of the democratic breakthrough in East Central Europe develop at the transnational, national, and vernacular levels. The four case studies in this section show that the liberal view of 1989 has be…
On Two Modernities of the Polish Automotive Industry
Focusing on the history of the Polish main car factory, the FSO, the paper examines two modernisation waves in the country’s automotive industry: the socialist Government’s purchase of a license from the Italian Fiat in the 1960s and the acquisition of the factory by the Daewoo Corporation in the 1990s. The history of the FSO as an enterprise shows, above all, the pitfalls of dependent development. It has, however, resulted in the training of a c…
Memory and Change in Europe
In studies of a common European past, there is a significant lack of scholarship on the former Eastern Bloc countries. While understanding the importance of shifting the focus of European memory eastward, contributors to this volume avoid the trap of Eastern European exceptionalism, an assumption that this region’s experiences are too unique to render them comparable to the rest of Europe. They offer a reflection on memory from an Eastern Europea…
Deutsch-Polnische Erinnerungsorte
Die Texte des vierten Bandes der Deutsch-Polnischen Erinnerungsorte laden dazu ein, einen Blick "hinter die Kulissen" des Projektes zu werfen. Interessierte können Aufschluss über den theoretischen Rahmen der Publikationsreihe gewinnen. Wer sich während der Lektüre der Deutsch-Polnischen Erinnerungsorte gefragt hat, wie Erinnerungskulturen entstehen und wie man sie analysieren kann, findet in diesem Band nicht eine, sondern viele sich ergänzende …
