Memory Narratives about the Post-War

Summary/Abstract: The object of the article are the memoirs of postwar freedom fighters, liaison agents and others who aided partisans, which Romualdas Kaunietis had collected for over four decades and which were published as a series of ten volumes, titled Memories of Aukštaitija Partisans, Memories of Aukštaitija and Žemaitija Partisans, Memories of Freedom Fighters, and Years of Fighting for Freedom and Losses. The article aims to answer questions about the ways in which these memories create a specific content and whether they have the potential to become an integral part of the memory culture. The research is based on memory theories and is focused on genre definitions, traumatic experience, strategies of memory narratives and multilayer structure of the books. The aim of the article is to include polyphonic memories in the discourse of literary criticism.
