“…It also aims at involving civil society in the historical reconstruction processes theorised by Paul Connerton (1989), which are necessary even if it already actively remembers events (e.g., with public gatherings etc.). Transforming memory into text, in the form of deeds, documents, and supports, or acting it out in rituals such as ceremonies and tributes is also necessary to reformulate what in our specific case could be defined as "negative heritage" (Wahnich 2011). Perhaps relying on what Y.…”

Drawing on the field of nuclear semiotics, this article critically discusses the classic problem of marking the location of a deep geological repository to communicate – in the distant future – its presence and potential threats to intruders. The article is divided into two parts. The first part reviews some site-marking solutions that have been proposed in the nearly 40 years of nuclear semiotics’ existence. These solutions are analyzed through the lens of semiotics of space and memory, highlighting different ideas about the purposes of site-marking, ranging from the idea of communicating a warning message to that of transmitting a memory. The second part addresses these strategies of memory transmission by examining some recent “speculative experiments” that use art to convey information about nuclear repositories to future generations. This part of the article examines artistic proposals submitted to a competition organized by ANDRA (the French Agency for Nuclear Waste).

“…Potrebno je govoriti, ne da bi se prizadeli! Kako živeti skupaj z vsemi temi negativnimi zapuščinami preteklosti (Wahnich 2011;Baussant in Foscarini 2017)? Kot razmišlja judovski filozof Jacques Derrida (2014,20), moramo živeti skupaj, predvsem z našimi živimi in mrtvimi, z našo preteklostjo in s preteklostjo tistih, ki jih več ni.…”

Delo se skozi izkušnje in spomine različnih posameznikov /.../ predvsem sprašuje o prostovoljnosti migracij iz obalnih mest in širše Primorske po letu 1945. /.../ Nakaže, kako je vsakokratna »prostovoljna« odločitev bila dejansko družbeno-zgodovinsko, politično-ekonomsko in še kako drugače pogojena. /…/ Enako pomembna je tudi ugotovitev, da »nihče ni čist«, da je lahko tako vsak posameznik kot vsaka (denimo nacionalna) skupnost vedno obenem krvnik in žrtev, a da ravno prepoznanje tega, kot tudi priznavanje svoje in bolečine drugega lahko šele omogočita spravo in sobivanje.

“…So-called "negative" memory policies (Wahnich, 2011), which criticize excessive state violence, are most often considered the reverse of the hate propaganda of violent authoritarian regimes. The ability of the latter to provoke hate is seen as an implicit sign of the former's potential ability to restore tolerance.…”

This book provides a fresh perspective on the familiar belief that memory policies are successful in building peaceful societies. Whether in a stable democracy or in the wake of a violent political conflict, this book argues that memory policies are largely unhelpful in preventing hate, genocide, and mass crimes. Since the 1990s, transmitting the memory of violent pasts has been used in attempts to foster tolerance and fight racism, hate and antisemitism. However, countries that invested in memory policies have overseen the rise of hate crimes and populisms instead of growing social cohesion. Breaking with the usual moralistic position, this book takes stock of this situation. Where do these memory policies come from? Whom do they serve? Can we make them more effective? In other words, can we really learn from the past? At a time when memory studies is blooming, this book questions the normative belief in the effects of memory.
