“…Another variation of the interscalar analysis is concerned with the internal tension of the “individual vs collective” axis in memory studies. Interscalar analysis advocates for approaching memory as oscillating between multiple macro-, meso-, and micro-levels of interactions, such as individual, collective, and cultural (De Putte, 2021; Keightley et al, 2019); or individual, familial/intergenerational, and collective (Cordonnier et al, 2022).…”

The purpose of this article is to explore potential avenues for the forthcoming “fourth wave” of memory studies, building upon existing theories of temporality in the field. By focusing on relative duration, particularly short-term versus long-term perspectives, it argues for the differentiation between objects of remembering, such as events and conditions, and modes of remembering, such as commemoration, legacy, and heritage. The article argues that our present moment is characterized by the proliferation of temporalities of various scales and the complex interplay between forms of memory and the scales against which it is constructed. This argument is illustrated by the different forms of the Chernobyl disaster remembering in Russia as well as Putin’s strategic use of historical analogies from the distant past. Finally, the article proposes an agenda for the politics of time, expanding the scope of the “politics of memory” to encompass the social construction of past, present, and future on different scales and their use by existing systems of power.
