Anticipating Memory. What Remains of the War in Ukraine? CIHA, Lyon

Looking back from the Happened Future towards a Landscape of the War
Talk of Lada Nakonechna at the
36th Congress of the Comité International d’Histoire de l’Art
Session:
Anticipating Memory. What Remains of the War in Ukraine?
Chairs:
Mateusz Kapustka (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin / Universität Zürich)
Dominique Poulot (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne)
The session addresses the future of remembrance of the present Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2024 and beyond. Whereas the ongoing destruction of lives, infrastructure, and cultural heritage of Ukraine is currently the most visible tragic effect of the war, its memory is being shaped simultaneously. Memory works with imagination, fragmentation, repression, and oblivion. As such, it already determines the inner dynamics of the event: The course of the war thus appears as an extended event in terms of both unexpectedness and recurrence that reinforce its narrative ineffability.
