“…The second begins at around 40 days (shown in the left panel of Figure 1), although discussion of this region is outside the scope of this study. To fit the first linear region (hereafter "linear region") of the B versus B − V, B − R, and B − I CMAGIC diagrams for each SN, we used Levenberg-Marquardt least squares minimization via mpfit in Python (Moré 1978;Moré & Wright 1993;Markwardt 2009;Koposov 2017). The fits were performed such that χ 2 was fixed to equal the number of degrees of freedom via scaling the errors, with different scalings for the two linear regions.…”

We apply the color–magnitude intercept calibration method (CMAGIC) to the Nearby Supernova Factory SNe Ia spectrophotometric data set. The currently existing CMAGIC parameters are the slope and intercept of a straight line fit to the linear region in the color–magnitude diagram, which occurs over a span of approximately 30 days after maximum brightness. We define a new parameter, ω XY , the size of the “bump” feature near maximum brightness for arbitrary filters X and Y. We find a significant correlation between the slope of the linear region, β XY , in the CMAGIC diagram and ω XY . These results may be used to our advantage, as they are less affected by extinction than parameters defined as a function of time. Additionally, ω XY is computed independently of templates. We find that current empirical templates are successful at reproducing the features described in this work, particularly SALT3, which correctly exhibits the negative correlation between slope and “bump” size seen in our data. In 1D simulations, we show that the correlation between the size of the “bump” feature and β XY can be understood as a result of chemical mixing due to large-scale Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities.

The study discusses the legal governance of historical memory through the presentation of the phenomenon of memory laws. It reflects on the appearance of these laws in the legal system, emphasizes their different definitions and classifications, at all the levels (constitutional, statutory and quasi-legal), and among various areas of legislation. The paper further points out the context and development of Hungarian memory laws, highlighting the special importance of this legislation in the current political and legal situation as well as potential lessons in the wider European context.

“…The increasing juridification and legal treatment of the recent and less recent past, taking for example the form of memory laws, is another process characterizing the memory boom (Koposov, 2018;Teitel, 2000). The apparently belated quest to bring WWII perpetrators to justice in the name of human rights and of the imprescriptibility of crimes against humanity, is an important aspect of this process as well (Hartog, 2015: 201).…”

“…One line of research emphasized for example that the assimilation of the economy to a mathematical model, typical of the neoliberal logic, presupposes that social groups do not call for redistribution, as such calls would constitute an unwanted and unwarranted intervention in the operations of neoliberalism. In this context, the function of the focalization on memory is that of muffling potential redistributive calls (Koposov, 2018: 57; see also Boltanski and Thévenot, 2006). In a similar vein, another line of research, which looks in depth at the relationship between transitional justice and neoliberalism argued that the memory work that transitional justice implies looks for a technically understood consensus that is supposed to bring societies together, without in any way attempting to interrogate socio-economic power relations, structures of inequality, systemic and structural violence.…”

Towards a Disentanglement of the Links between the Memory Boom and the Neoliberal Turn

The memory boom and the related emergence of cosmopolitan victimhood-centred memories, increasingly criticized for depoliticizing the past and thus contributing to the depoliticization of the present, have been simultaneous with the curtailment of the welfare state, the abandonment of the politics of redistribution, the erosion of social and economic rights, and the growth in social and economic inequalities. Yet if the latter are often being considered to be among the reasons leading to the current right-wing populist wave in Europe and elsewhere or at least are seen as entangled therewith, the relevance of the memory boom for these developments has not been properly interrogated. Against this background, this contribution makes a plea for a critical appreciation of the linkages between the memory boom and the global ascension of neoliberalism. It acknowledges the contemporaneity of the two phenomena, which have been fundamentally informing our present age, roughly since the end of the 1970s, and calls for a critical engagement with their interwoven character. In doing this, it argues that scholarship should pay particular attention to the relationship between past, present, and future that the neoliberal turn in its various shapes and guises implies, as well as to the regimes of temporality that underlie various instantiations of the memory boom. It ends by taking heed of recent theorizations in memory studies and by asking to what extent can they be used in order to have a better grasp of the critical juncture we are currently lying at and to contribute to a radical change of the political status quo. Thus, the article makes some preliminary steps towards disentangling the interconnections between the memory boom and the neoliberal turn, and aims to provide a blueprint for a substantial future research project that should look in depth at these entanglements.
