Prague Papers on the History of International Relations (Jun 2018)
Dialogisches Erinnern als Praxis? Krieg und Vertreibung im Online-Lexikon Wikipedia || Dialogical Remembrance as Practice? War and Expulsion in Online eEncyclopedia Wikipedia
Abstract
Following the theorists of “entangled” and “dialogical memory” (F. Krawatzek, G. Feindt, A. Assmann, M. Rothberg, etc.), the paper deals with the dialogical/monological character of collective remembrance in new digital media, such as the hypertext Wikipedia. It focuses on the negotiation of the representations of dramatic events of World War II, such as the Munich Agreement or the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia that exceed the national frameworks of remembrance.
