In the Labyrinth of Remembrance: Historical Thinking and the Pluralism of past interpretations
In the Labyrinth of Remembrance: Historical Thinking and the Pluralism of past interpretations

Summary/Abstract: The study explores the issues of European remembrance politics and common culture of remembrance, analyzing the relationship between collective memory and historiography. It points out that history is a constructed narrative that serves political ends and that national identity is closely intertwined with the national image of history. The study takes stock of the dilemmas of a common remembrance policy at the European level: the divergence of national narratives and the question of a single European identity. Finally, presents the issues of European memory culture, from the Holocaust to EU integration and migration, and makes proposals for an unbiased, diverse and common European memory policy.
