内容説明
The essays in this book focus on contested memories in relation to time and space. Set within the context of several profound cultural and political conflicts in the contemporary world, the contributors analyze historical self-constructions of human groups, and their construction of the spaces which they shape and which shape them. What emerges from this effort is a view of the state as a highly contingent artifact of groups contending for legitimacy - whether through their own sense of "insiderhood", their control of positions within hierarchies, or their control of geographical territories. Each contributor addresses the (re)constitution of space, time and memory in relation to an event of either historical significance, like the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima, or cultural importance, like the Indian preoccupation with reincarnation. These ethnographic studies explore fundamental questions about the nature of memory, the limits of politics, and the complex links between them.
By focusing on personal and collective identity as the site where constructions of memory and dimensionality are tested, shaped, and effected, they offer a new way of understanding how the politics of space, time and memory are negotiated to bring people to terms with their history. Jonathan Boyarin, an anthropologist, has studied and taught at the New School for Social Research. He is the author of several books.

内容説明
Remapping Memory was first published in 1994. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.
The essays in this book focus on contested memories in relation to time and space. Within the context of several profound cultural and political conflicts in the contemporary world, the contributors analyze historical self-configurations of human groups, and the construction by these groups of the spaces they shape and that shape them. What emerges is a view of the state as a highly contingent artifact of groups vying for legitimacy-whether through their own sense of "insiderhood," their control of positions within hierarchies, or their control of geographical territories.
Boyarin's lead essay shows how the supposedly "objective" categories of space and time are, in fact, specific products of European modernity. Each case study, in turn, addresses the (re)constitution of space, time, and memory in relation to an event either of historical significance, like the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, or of cultural importance, like the Indian preoccupation with reincarnation. These ethnographic studies explore fundamental questions about the nature of memory, the limits of politics, and the complex links between them.
By focusing on personal and collective identity as the site where constructions of memory and dimensionality are tested, shaped, and effected, the authors offer a new way of understanding how the politics of space, time and memory are negotiated to bring people to terms with their history.
