Recently in the West, interest in the memory of the Holocaust considered as a commonly shared dark past has increased. In Ukraine the commemoration of the Holocaust is affected by the ongoing nation-building process, with a focus on the collective memories of the Holodomor (the Famine of 1932-1933) and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN). At the core of the debates around the Holocaust remembrance lies the memorialization of Babyn Yar, a multilayered memory site where Jewish and non-Jewish collective memories compete. Public and political actors vie for its memorial space in order to promote their own views through recognition of their respective tragedies. The memorialization and landscape of Babyn Yar is therefore transformed together with changes in the memory politics of the Holocaust. This thesis studies the contemporary politics of memory and commemoration of the Holocaust in Ukraine with a focus on Babyn Yar and its memorial objects. Through the illustrations of the memory site this project analyzes the memorial space and grounds and explores the struggles over the collective memories in Ukraine.

The project of this thesis has been to examine the results of the development of the reputation and concept of the historical figure of Horatio Nelson as symbol of masculinity from nearly the beginning of the myth-making and mythologizing in the nineteenth century to the present. There have been several studies recently that examine Nelson the myth, Nelson as legend, Nelson as hero: they study the process of the development of this character. As a result of the mythologizing the history of Horatio Nelson is likely lost. However the memory of Nelson a very different thing and the focus of this thesis has been reinforced through commemoration throughout the two centuries since his death coming to a logical conclusion in 2008. This was done in both the public sphere (in the form of monuments) and in the private sphere (Nelson was merchandised) with the logical result in the first part of the twenty-first century being a manifestation of Nelson in fan culture on the internet. He has now been essentialised, extrapolated, and used in a wide variety of ways to navigate masculinity by both genders.

This guide would present new forms to observe the urban landscape considering the main role played by the city in the Brazilian history as political and cultural capital. The major focus of the foreseen itineraries would be the nation’s republican phase from the end of the XIX century till the 1970’s. In this period, Rio has faced innumerable urban changes which would be also analyzed during a series of walking-tours described in the travel guide. Based on this approach, the paper analyzes the formulation possibilities for this touristic product through theoretical references about Collective Memory, Sites of Memory, Cultural Identity and Heritage Interpretation. Taking advantage from these concepts, the study explains this emerging style of cultural tourism as an incentive for local residents to become travellers in their own city, as citizen- tourists. / A presente dissertação propõe-se a trazer algumas reflexões sobre o turismo cultural no Rio de Janeiro através da criação de um guia de viagem com rotas temáticas baseadas na história da cidade. Este guia proporia novas formas de leitura da paisagem urbana carioca a partir do papel central que a cidade teve na história brasileira enquanto capital política e cultural da nação. O foco principal dos itinerários seria a fase republicana no Brasil entre o final do século XIX até os anos 1970. Nesse período, o Rio passou por uma série de reformas urbanas que seriam também analisadas através de uma série de caminhadas temáticas descritas no guia. A partir dessa abordagem, o trabalho analisa as possibilidades de formatação desse produto turístico através da interlocução entre referenciais teóricos de Memória Coletiva, Lugar de Memória, Identidade Cultural e Interpretação de Patrimônio. Tirando proveito desses conceitos, o estudo procura justificar esse estilo emergente de turismo cultural como um incentivo para o morador do Rio tornar-se viajante em sua própria cidade, enquanto turista-cidadão.

The master thesis "The creation and reproduction of historical consciousness on the example of the association Radecký Praha" deals with the historical consciousness, its creation and reproduction. The theoretical part defines not only historical consciousness but also pays attention to the related issues, such as collective memory, historical memory, sites of memory, or national identity, due to the fact that the boundaries between collective memory and historical consciousness are often at least unclear. Theoretical part is primarily based on the works of Maurice Halbwachs, Jan Assmann, Miroslav Hroch and Pierre Nora. The empirical part of this study concludes the research of the association Radetzky Prague, which seeks to return the monument of Marshal Radetzky on the Malostranské náměstí. The research tries to describe and understand the ways of creation and reproduction of historical consciousness of its members throughout the analysis of qualitative interviews. Mentioned authors already provide a certain methodological background research. Conclusion contains a summary and a comparison of research results with theses of authors that are dealing with similar themes. This work is not a purely historical or sociological one; it is trying to stay somewhere between historical and sociological...

[pt] O presente trabalho busca contribuir para o avanço do conhecimento na área de Estudos Organizacionais por meio da análise da constituição da organização Memorial da Resistência de São Paulo (MRSP) dentro do paradigma construtivista social com o emprego da lente relacional e crítica proposta pela abordagem ANTi- History. Ao assumir a organização como um verbo, um fenômeno emergente, inacabado e em constante transformação e não mais como um substantivo estático, representável, coerente, neutro e discreto, de acordo com os preceitos do Organizing, foi possível trazer à tona as negociações e manobras dos diferentes atores envolvidos, bem como a contribuição de cada um deles para a constituição do MRSP por meio da ANTI-History. Dessa forma, foi possível ressaltar e tornar transparentes as relações sócio-políticas e de poder subjacentes à constituição do MRSP, assim como o processo contínuo de (re) configuração e ressignificação do espaço enquanto um lugar de memória de resistência, acentuando a importância de se investigar intencionalidades associadas ao que foi resgatado e das interpretações do passado de acordo com agendas e interesses de determinados atores. A análise e a triangulação de diversas fontes, associadas à postura reflexiva e crítica exigida pela ANTi-History, permitiram identificar, resgatar e demonstrar as ações e implicações de uma multiplicidade de atores, promovendo uma contextualização mais profunda e detalhada da análise do fenômeno ao remover o véu de aparente simplicidade da organização e, por fim, revelando possíveis apagamentos e silenciamentos de memórias. / [en] The present study seeks to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the area of Organizational Studies through the analysis of the constitution of the Memorial São Paulo (MRSP) within the social constructivist paradigm from a relational and critical perspective proposed by the ANTi-History approach. By assuming the organization as a verb, an emerging phenomenon, unfinished and in constant transformation and no longer as a noun static, representative, coherent, neutral and discreet, in accordance with the Organizing precepts, one can bring to light the negotiations and maneuvers employed by the different actors involved, as well as contribution of each of these to the constitution of the MRSP. Thus, highlighting and giving transparency to the socio-political and power relations that are subjacent to the constitution of an organisations such as the MRSP, as well as the on-going process of (re) configuration and resignification of the space as a place of memory dedicated to resistance, only increase the importance of looking more closely at the intentionalities associated with that which was recovered and the interpretations of the past according to the agendas and interests of certain actors. The analysis and the triangulation of several sources, associated with the reflexive and critical posture required by an ANTi-History researcher, allowed to identify, recoup and demonstrate the actions and implications of a multiplicity of actors, promoting a deeper and more detailed contextualization of the analysis by removing the veil of apparent simplicity of the organization and, finally, revealing possible cases of effacement and silencing.

Os projetos e processos de construção dos lugares de memória da resistência são protagonizados por agentes situados no campo de disputas por memória, verdade e justiça, conformado pelo recente contexto de aprofundamento da justiça de transição no país. Partindo do pressuposto que a articulação destes agentes em busca da legitimação dos lugares de memória da resistência configura uma estratégia para inscrever fatos e histórias no imaginário social, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo descrever como estes projetos e processos são marcados por disputas e assimetrias entre estes agentes, assim como nas suas interações com o poder reificado pelo Estado. Situada e relacional, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo caracterizar e analisar o papel dos atores, bem como as temporalidades, imagens e narrativas que estão em disputa nos processos de construção de memoriais em curso na cidade Salvador (Memorial da Resistência da Bahia, Casa Marighella e Forte do Barbalho), no período de 2011 a 2016. / The political struggle for the construction of memorials associated with the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship (1964-1985) gained prominence in the last decade from the understanding that the preservation, financing and maintenance of these sites of memory are state policies legitimized by instruments such as the Brazil’s 3rd Human Rights National Plan and the Final Report of the National Truth Commission. The building projects and processes of these sites of memory of the resistance are carried out by agents located in the field of disputes for memory, truth and justice, conformed by the recent context of deepening transitional justice in the country. Based on the assumption that the articulation of these agents in search of legitimation of the sites of memory of resistance constitutes a strategy to inscribe facts and stories in the social imaginary, this research aims to describe how these projects and processes are marked by disputes and asymmetries between these agents, as well as in their interactions with the power reified by the State. Situated and relational, this research aims to characterize and analyze the actors, as well as the temporalities, images and narratives that are in dispute in the processes of construction of memorials in progress in the city of Salvador (Bahia’s Resistance Memorial, Marighella’s House and Barbalho’s Fort), from 2011 to 2016.
