In this first book-length study of participatory memory practices, Ekaterina V. Haskins critically examines this trend by asking how and with what consequences participatory forms of commemoration have reshaped the rhetoric of democratic citizenship.Approaching commemorations as both representations of civic identity and politically consequential sites of stranger interaction, Popular Memories investigates four distinct examples of participatory commemoration: the United States Postal Services "Celebrate the Century" stamp and education program, the September 11 Digital Archive, the first post-Katrina Carnival in New Orleans, and a traveling memorial to the human cost of the Iraq War.Despite differences in sponsorship, genre, historical scope, and political purpose, all of these commemorations relied on voluntary participation of ordinary citizens in selecting, producing, or performing interpretations of distant or recent historical events. These collectively produced interpretationsor popular memoriesin turn prompted interactions between people, inviting them to celebrate, to mourn, or to bear witness. The books comparison of the four case studies suggests that popular memories make for stronger or weaker sites of civic engagement depending on whether or not they allow for public affirmation of the individual citizens contribution and for experiencing alternative identities and perspectives. By systematically accounting for grassroots memory practices, consumerism, tourism, and rituals of popular identity, Haskinss study enriches our understanding of contemporary memory culture and citizenship....1401622Popular Memories8121128https://www.gandhi.com.mx/popular-memories-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/565116/558154cd-a958-4c6a-a73f-ee629616d133.jpg?v=638335317153900000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20159781611174953_W3siaWQiOiIwYmMwNGU5NS03ZWZiLTQyNWItODhhOC02YzgyMzMyOTQ1YzciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjEwOTksImRpc2NvdW50IjozMDgsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6NzkxLCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0xMi0wMVQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlfV0=9781611174953_A critical exploration of the ways public participation has transformed commemoration and civic engagement in the United StatesIn the last three decades ordinary Americans launched numerous grassroots commemorations and official historical institutions became more open to popular participation.
