Lokalne polityki pamięci
Local politics of memory

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a new insight into the memory processes associated with memory politics at the local level. Firstly, the author opposes the identification of the term “memory politics” with the term “history politics”. Secondly, the author presents a proposal for analyzing public attempts to influence the collective consciousness of the past through the concept of local memory policies. This concept applies to territorial communities smaller than the state-society. The author shows the empirical application of this concept on the example of the city of Poznañ.
