Abstract Carmen Francesca Bancius trilogy that includes the novels Vaterflucht (1998), Das Lied der traurigen Mutter (2007) und Lebt Wohl, Ihr Genossen und Geliebten! (2018) make from a cultural-historical perspective individual and collective memory processes in post-communist Romania visible. Her last work shows most clearly what shifts the culture of remembrance underwent in post-communist Romania, and how the tone of remembrance changed from a radical criticism of the system in the 1990s to a conciliatory narrative in the 2000s. Considering the dominant memory discourses in non-literary spaces, the present contribution analyses the aesthetic possibilities that Banciu explores in order to humanize the image of the unscrupulous communist official that dominated her narrative in Vaterflucht (1998), and Das Lied der traurigen Mutter (2007).

The Aesthetic

This article deals with landscape as a nexus between the aesthetic experience and the metaphysical issue of Being, in order to highlight its epistemological power linked with thinking and experiencing the Being. On the basis of a landscape analysis made from an ontological perspective, it reveals itself as a specially qualified phenomenon for the development of a Metaphysics-esthetics as an inquiring and experiencing way, enabling a reconsideration of Metaphysics as theory and practice. Firstly I present an introduction to the metaphysics-esthetics experience from a historical perspective, to expose next two ontological perspectives on landscape: a) as a part of a larger ontological chain and a subjective-objective co-production; b) as a proto-art of Nature, artwork and art of peoples.

The One

Although the origins of procedures now falling under the scope of modern plastic surgery date back thousands of years, it was only fairly recently that these were grouped under the umbrella term “plastic” surgery. However, mainly due to the industrialization period, the popular understanding of the term “plastic” would soon change—making way for the addition of the term “reconstructive” to the specialty's name. Through a careful look at historical trends, the authors illustrate how this unintentionally led to an ideological divide between the aesthetic and reconstructive portions of our work, prompting a recent push to unify the field under the one, original, lexical choice: “plastic” surgery.

The Aesthetic

This article examines the role of the creative arts in renegotiating the border between memorable and unmemorable lives. It does so with specific reference to the (un)forgetting of the colonial soldiers in European armies during World War One. Focussing on the role of aesthetic form in generating memorability, it shows how the creative use of a medium can help redefine the borders of imagined communities by commanding the attention of individual subjects and hence providing conditions for a cognitive and affective opening to the memory of strangers. It concludes that future studies of transformations in collective memory should take a multiscalar approach which takes into account both the shifting social frameworks of memory and the small changes that occur in the micro-politics of viewing and reading.

Contemporary Study

The contemporary study of memory has greatly benefited from recent findings in neuroscience and psychology showing that memory is a highly flexible, contextualized and yet, reliable enough system, composed of different types of functions that overlap to provide an overall balance of accuracy and meaning. Although I discuss some of these findings, my main focus is on putting them into a larger perspective. Memory has been a very important issue in the humanities, literature, and the history of psychology. This paper discusses the importance of inner speech and narrative from a theoretical and historical perspective, interpreting contemporary findings in the light of previous theories of memory, consciousness, and the influence of language on both. Collective memory, different forms of reality monitoring, and the interaction between episodic and autobiographical memory are discussed. Previous views on the suppression and intrusion of memories are also analyzed.

En el presente trabajo se abordan dos eventos teatrales: la representación de la obra Villa, del dramaturgo chileno Guillermo Calderón, y el Ciclo Escena y Memoria, coordinado por Jorge Villegas. Ambos eventos tuvieron lugar en el campo teatral independiente de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina, durante el año 2019. Desde una perspectiva sociohistórica abordamos la relación de dichos eventos con el ejercicio de la memoria en la ciudad. De Villa retomamos las actuales inquietudes respecto al uso político de los sitios de la memoria, para formular la pregunta: ¿es posible representar el horror del terrorismo de Estado? Del Ciclo nos interesan las redefiniciones respecto al cruce entre teatro y militancia política, y la habilitación de nuevos espacios de comunidad social a partir del dolor de los cuerpos.AbstractThis article addresses two theatrical events: the play Villa, by Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderón, and the Performing Arts and Memory Cycle, coordinated by Jorge Villegas. Both were produced in 2019 as part of the independent theater scene in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. These events are discussed from a socio-historical perspective, in order to understand the how they are related to the city’s collective memory. In Villa it’s possible to identify the political use of the memory sites and how Calderón works with a fundamental question: is it possible to represent the horror of State terrorism? In the Performing Arts and Memory Cycle, the author discusses the intersection between theatre and political militancy, and the enabling of new spaces for social community where bodies have been subjected to pain. Recibido: 27 de marzo 2020Aceptado: 16 de julio de 2020

Personal and family albums created by Latvians in the period from 1939 until the 1950s are placed in a wider social and historical perspective by analyzing its content, as well as the individual intent to create it. This work explores photography album as a tool to organize memories and how historical, personal photography albums serve and interact as evidence of private as well as a public past. The research tries to prove the historical authenticity in two personal albums created by Latvians during the Second World War and the following years – a visual diary illustrating the imprisonment in the Soviet working camp in Siberia and a family album memorializing the way and life of the Latvian refugees in the Alt Garge camp, Germany. Two personal albums (currently stored at the archive of the Museum of Occupation of Latvia) have become objects of historical value and are an informative source for learning, analyzing and educating about historical events.
