ABSTRACT

A timeline (1890–2019) traces the evolution of memory work worldwide, starting in Europe before 1914, based on multiple materials and sources used for the book. It includes art, literature, monuments, museum and memorial events, films, scholarship and mnemonic dates. The purpose of the chronology is to show both the diversity and transnational character and the interconnectednesss of the work; it indicates evolution of an increasingly postnational memory production over more than a century.
