Course Syllabus

Abstract

In the past three decades, historians have become intensely interested in the power of memories, i.e., how memory and forgetting shape both the individual and collective relationship to the past. This course explores diverse sites and practices used by American, European, and Russian societies to commemorate their past from 1914 to the present. Beginning with a discussion on collective memory and a brief foray into the theory of the politics of memory, we will look at the pivotal events of American, European, and Russian histories (e.g., World War I, World War II, the Holocaust, the Great Famine, the Great Purge) and analyze how individuals and public institutions created new visions of the events and (mis)used those visions for their benefit. In the process, students will see why history, particularly that one of the twentieth century, is repeatedly rewritten, and why, eventually, it has so many conflicting interpretations. In the end, they will manage to see a huge gap between public or state-affiliated interpretations and those of professional historians. Indeed, while discussing the ways of remembering and forgetting, we cannot ignore the factual basis of historical events. Hence, students should be prepared to work with historical material and be aware of key figures, dates, and concepts given in each topic. The course draws on a range of primary and secondary sources, e.g., memoirs, speeches, films, scholarly writings, the Internet and social media. The course includes twelve lectures and tutorials, four quizzes, and one oral exam.
