Remembrance of war and conflict exposes the intricate interweaving of cultural memory and identity. Nations commemorate war to link narratives of the past with the present. This linking creates shared national narratives that temporally reinforce identities across the geography of the nation and among diverse citizenry. In this paper, the authors turn their attention towards the experiential and place-based concerns of the politics of memory within the context of war. It is argued that through attentiveness to individual experience we can better understand how cultural memory is enveloped into constructions of identity and critique such constructions alongside official narratives.

战争背景下的文化记忆和身份认同：经验、地方和政治问题

战争和冲突的记忆暴露了文化记忆和身份的错综复杂的交织。各国纪念战争是为了将过去的叙述与现在联系起来。这种联系创造了共同的国家叙事，在时间上加强了国家地理和不同公民之间的身份认同。在本文中，作者将注意力转向战争背景下记忆政治的经验和基于地点的关注。有人认为，通过关注个人经历，我们可以更好地理解文化记忆是如何被包裹在身份建构中的，并在官方叙述的同时批评这种建构。
