The Memory Politics of Becoming European: The East European Subalterns and the Collective Memory of Europe
The situation in collective memory studies that share a nexus with
the discipline of International Relations (IR) is currently reflective
of the traditionally West-centric writing of European history. This
order of things has become increasingly challenged after the eastern
enlargement of the European Union (EU). This article examines
Poland’s and the Baltics’ recent attempts to enlarge the mnemonic
vision of ‘the united Europe’ by placing their ‘subaltern pasts’ in contest
with the conventionally Western European-bent understanding of the
consequences of World War II in Europe. I argue that their endeavours
to wrench the ‘European mnemonical map’ apart in order to become
more congruent with the different historical experiences within the
enlarged EU encapsulate the curious trademark of Polish and Baltic
post-Cold War politics of becoming European: their combination of
simultaneously seeking recognition from and resisting the hegemonic
‘core European’ narrative of what ‘Europe’ is all about
