Memory of the City. Important Moments from the History of Cities in the Light of the Written and Visual Sources

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Settlement and economic unit, legal institution, organizational element of the execution and administration of power, cultural and social space. All of that can be used to define the phenomenon, called the city. However, it lacks what allows the mentioned characteristics to be unified into a life whole. In accord with the approach of social constructionism, we are of the opinion that the city is also (and predominantly) a symbolic space creating the collective awareness of the urban communality within and towards the world outside this society. Contemporary social science calls the binding, through which urban society is constituted and maintained, collective memory. The theory of collective memory and its research reaches back to the first half of the 20th century to the comparative investigation of visual images and the symbolic interactions of Aby Warburg on the one hand and the tradition of Durkheim’ssociology of the collective awareness (Maurice Halbwachs) on the other hand. After years when it was almost forgotten, it was intensively developed from the 1980s mainly thanks to the inspirational concepts of places of memory by Pierre Nora and cultural memory by Jan and Aleida Assmann. Assmann distinguished between two types of collective memory communicative and cultural. Whereas communicative memory is created from personal communication of the living and its duration disappears after three consecutive generations (e.g. family memory), cultural memory, captured in cultural artefacts of various types and ritually repeated performances, allows the bridging of entire ages and building an intimate relationship of the society also with people long dead. Precisely the concept of cultural memory allows one to deal with the memory of the city.
