Russian Summary/Аннотация

Курс представляет собой введение в проблематику исследований исторической

памяти как социально и культурно укорененного нарратива идентичности. Он

построен как серия отдельных случаев, иллюстрирующих как различный

эмпирический материал в этой обрасти, так и различные теоретические вопросы,

вытекающим из ключевых слов названия данного курса: Каковы основные подходы к

социальной и культурной памяти? Какая именно, и чья, история является предметом

памяти и её нарративного воспроизведения? Как понимается идентичность? Курс

рассматривает такие модальности социальной организации исторической памяти как

национализм, империю, (пост)социализм и неолиберализм и др., а формы, способы и

места памяти, от нарративных (исторический текст, архив, блог) до невербальных

(аффект, тело), культурного наследия и материальных объектов, включая

архитектуру.

Abstract

This course is to introduce students to methodologies that are required for

understanding history as a multiple, layered, and contested set of representations. The course

is built as an in-depth series of case studies, with the aim of bringing together three distinct

areas of analytical questions that are implied by its title’s key terms: “history”, “memory”

and “identity”: What are main approaches to social and cultural memory? What, and whose

history is being remembered and narrated? How identity is understood?

1. Memory. This course gives a thorough grounding in classic work on memory from

Durkheimean, psychoanalytical and Marxist perspectives, including Maurice Halbwachs

and Pierre Nora, and contrasting it with the studies that draw on post-structuralist and

cognitive approaches, as well as theories of affect and subjectivity.

2. History. The course asks what can be learned about societies from ways in which

they are concerned with history. What are some of the types of historical consciousness and

cultural notions of history, of lack thereof? How one can productively compare imperial and

universalist notions of history as progress with ideas about historical and cultural uniqueness

and exceptionalism, including nationalism, as well as with conceptualizations of history as

justice, as trauma, and as objects of consumption. What are practices of production,

exchange and consumption of historical narratives in education, tourism and politics?

3. Identity. This term has become one of the key categories in historical and social

analysis. One of the goals of the course is to ask what identity is, and what approaches to

identity are useful for understanding historical memory.

The course’ point of departure is Romantic and post-Romantic discourses on

communities, uniqueness and exceptionality, including the myths of origin and discourse of

cultural exclusivity, narratives of national history and pantheons of national heroes. It then

moves on to empire and postcoloniality, (post)socialism and (neo)liberalism as equally

distinct forms of historical memory organization, with their own repertoires of referential

imagery and understandings of boundaries. It explores the issues of memory of war,

including civil war and ethnic conflict. Archive, film, body and material objects, including

buildings, are approached as culturally-specific memory devices and contested sites for

historical memory. Genres of historical narratives, including historiography, ethnology and

anthropology, and museum are discussed.

Learning Objectives of this course is to give students experience in hands-on

exploration of practices of historical memory and identity formation.

Learning Outcomes of this course are abilities to conceptually and critically unpack

the notions of different forms of historical memory, and discuss how they constitute, and are

constituted by, different kinds of identity. These outcomes include the list of competences

detailed below

Upon completion of the course students will be examined in:

• knowledge of key approaches to memory, practices of commemoration, and

narratives of history;

• ability to draw distinctions between different modalities of historical memory,

including the state, local, personal, regional, ethnic and national narratives, forms of their

contestation in the processes of narrative production and circulation;

• understanding how situated are different agents of social and cultural memory;

• comprehension of approaches to identity, in particular, its primordial, instrumental

and constructivist understandings;

• proficiency in debating these issues with sufficient empirical grounding in work on

specific regional and historical contexts.

List of competences. As a result of completing the course, students will develop the following

competences:
