Was sind kulturelle Gedächtnisräume? – Erinnern, Raum und das kulturelle Gedächtnis nach Aleida und Jan Assmann

Abstract

Abstract. The study of places of memory is an expanding field in international geography, in which the concept of cultural memory by Aleida and Jan Assmann, which has its origins in German-language cultural studies, has received little attention. However, in a concentration of the concept on the specific concerns of a cultural-geographical study of places of memory lies the possibility – especially as an important intellectual style of German Theory – to explicitly ask about the mechanisms of origin and function of places of memory. The basic assumption of the concept is that cultural memory functions as a medial storehouse of experiences from the past. Based on the assumption that places of memory cannot be a storage, but only an anchor of memories, the article develops a space-oriented conception of cultural memory spaces derived from the basic features of cultural memory. The following four characteristics are elaborated: Cultural memory spaces are (1) dynamic and (2) present-related (3) supports of memory, (4) in which individual memories intertwine with cultural memory.

Collectively shared knowledge [8] is considered a commemorative medium for recalling the past and a narrative symbolic space for reconstruction through textual intertextuality and is characterized by the dynamism, reality, and support of space that is integrated with personal memory [9]. "Collective memory images [10] clarifies the symbolic nature that cultural memory possesses [11], embedding memory in the repetition and imitation of images and intervening in space through images that break through linear practices and establish transcendental connections between similar or heterogeneous images [12].…”
