11/2014 - Conférence de Marianne Hirsch « Comment mobiliser la Mémoire ? »
Conférence du Professeur Marianne Hirsch (Université de Columbia, New York) prononcée le 6 novembre 2014 à la Sorbonne dans le cadre du cycle de conférences et débats de l’ASBL Mémoire d’Auschwitz.
Malgré l’effort récent d’ancrer le débat mémoriel dans des cadres transnationaux et transculturels, les nouveaux musées et sites mémoriaux – comme, par exemple, le musée du 11 septembre à New York ou celui de l’histoire des Juifs de Pologne à Varsovie – démontrent que la mémoire nationale continue à dominer. Dans cette communication, Marianne Hirsch propose une autre conception de la mémoire et de la postmémoire provenant des œuvres de plusieurs artistes contemporains qui réussissent à mobiliser une postmémoire mouvante et diasporique, antimonumentale, fragile, et provisoire – une postmémoire visant non le passé mais le futur.
Auschwitz Foundation – Remembrance of Auschwitz
The Auschwitz Foundation was founded in 1980 by Paul Halter, an Auschwitz survivor. Replacing the Amicale Belge des Ex-Prisonniers politiques d’Auschwitz-Birkenau Camps et Prisons de Silésie, the primary objective of the Auschwitz Foundation is to study the history and memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the Nazi terror in a sustainable and systematic way. The transmission of memory and the preservation of archives concerning these events complete this goal.
On the other hand, the Auschwitz Foundation does not want to limit itself to Auschwitz or the Holocaust, and this is expressed in the interest the Foundation has in all mass crimes committed by authoritarian regimes. The work and projects it carries out are resolutely multidisciplinary and extend to all mass crimes and crimes committed in the long historic term or in contemporary history.
To carry out this considerable task, the Auschwitz Foundation set up a Study and Documentation Centre in 2004: Remembrance of Auschwitz. Thanks to this new institution, which has a permanent staff of ten specialists, the promotion of scientific research and multidisciplinary publications has increased significantly.
