“…4 For, contrary to popular belief, these rules are not simply a question of ethics, but also one of concrete needs and interests behind specific ways in which individuals and communities refer to the Holocaust. Eventually, as Hans Kellner (1994) points out, the memory of the Shoah, despite conveying respect for the suffering of the victims, does not serve them but the contemporary users of that memory.…”

Oskarżona: Vera Gran (Vera Gran: The Accused), a hybrid biographical work relating the life story and testimony of the Warsaw ghetto singer by the Polish second generation author Agata Tuszyńska, was translated to many languages. Yet, all the translations were made on the basis of the French one, which in fact reflects a strongly edited version of the original text. As the author of the article argues, the modifications introduced to Oskarżona: Vera Gran upon its release on the foreign markets go far beyond the standard editing procedures and have to do with the fact that Tuszyńska's original text openly questions a certain fixed paradigm of representing the Holocaust and some of the socially sanctioned patterns of Shoah remembrance. The comparative analysis of the Polish and the American editions of the book presented in the article traces the most significant changes introduced to the foreign adaptation, identifying three main areas where the misbehaved testimony to the Shoah-of the survivor and the secondary witness alike-was disciplined to conform to the largely globalised discourse of Holocaust

“…Wbrew pozorom są one bowiem funkcją nie wyłącznie etyki, lecz także konkretnych potrzeb i interesów indywidualnych oraz społecznych stojących za określonym odwoływaniem się do Zagłady. Wszak, jak zauważa Hans Kellner (1994), pamięć Holokaustu, choć jest między innymi wyrazem szacunku wobec ofiar i ich cierpienia, nie służy im, lecz współczesnym, którzy ją kultywują.…”

“…The argument, as noted by Jenkins (2003; Brown 2005; Iggers 2005), to be sure, is not that the past never occurred or existed; it happened, but exists today only as representation, in its specific form made through the efforts of those who define it – and, those representations are highly contingent, fragile, political and fluid. Historians from these traditions have stressed that history is always interpretation of the past and thus must necessarily be plural in representation (Braun 1997; Ermarth 1992; Jenkins 1999; Kellner 1997; White 1973, 1985). Through plurality, the hope has been to release history’s emancipatory potential (Jenkins 1999).…”

This paper attempts to address the recent call for an historic turn in management and organization studies: that of how to do history and represent the past of the field. To this end, we begin by stressing the need to theorize the past. We develop and describe a concept that we term relationalism, which draws on the sociology of knowledge (SoK) as well as select facets of an approach that has been developed through an engagement with the SoK, that of actor-network theory. The paper offers a theoretical discussion of relationalism as a way of theorizing the past and the past-as-history as an alternative to realism and relativism. We seek an empirical demonstration of relationalism through exploring the wide dispersion and numerous linguistic translations of the work of a scholar who was instrumental in the development of the SoK, that of Max Weber. Relationalism calls for interrogating the politics of representing the past, tracing actors symmetrically and surfacing the past-as-history in its multiplicity. Telling the past relationally calls for an exploration of the tensions between different modes of knowing. To this end, we offer it as a moral alternative.
