The Center, Memory, and Identity: The Uses of History in the (Re)Construction of the New Market in Dresden, Germany

TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2007.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Today’s historicist reconstruction of the New Market in Dresden draws on two definitions of the word history: firstly, “a sequence of events which have defined a period” and secondly, “the memory that later generations have of a period”. While the projects claim to bear witness to the history of the Neumarkt in terms of the first definition, of renewing the broken “historical thread”, it must however be realised that they convey much more the will to forget the recent painful past through the construction of a myth. The history they relate is therefore more in keeping with the second definition.
