Resumo(s)
Monuments and memorials are architectural communicational gestures of political representation affirmed in public spaces and interpelating citizens to reflect on past events. Memorials attempt to freeze time and its permanence is legitimated by historical/political significance, celebrated in cyclic official acts and ceremonies. If the projection and construction of monuments is an exercise of authorship and power relations, the projection and construction of memory is a more diffuse and collective exercise of celebration, denial, resignification and erasure of past events, and, as well, of shifting narratives on the past. In this essay we address recent troubles around a specific selection of Soviet Monuments situated in the new republics defining the western limit of former Soviet Union, particularly in Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine, based on our field observations and depictions, which we have been publishing in the last months.
