Abstract

Abstract The remarkably dynamic history of the small Czech town of Jáchymov provides the possibility of tracing memory, forgetting and recalling through constant rewriting and negotiation – both of a place of the individual memories, as well as the hierarchy of the events which are worthy of being remembered, and those that would rather be forgotten. German, Soviet, and Czech presence here cross with the spa and military nature of this place and its martyrological memory, on one side of the transfer of the German population shortly after World War II, and on the other one the political prisoners of the 1950s, who were forced into slave labor in the local uranium mine. All of these layers still remain today – referring to the title of the book by Karolina Ćwiek-Rogalska – remembered in Jáchymov's summer landscape, in which the air is breaking the image of reality, making it fluid, and somewhat elusive. And it is this variety of the layers of memory, recalling, and oblivion, which I would like to identify and describe in my article.
Jáchymov:遗忘的边界
捷克小镇Jáchymov引人注目的动态历史通过不断的重写和协商提供了追踪记忆、遗忘和回忆的可能性——无论是个人记忆的地方,还是值得记住的事件的层次结构,以及那些宁愿被遗忘的事件。德国、苏联和捷克在这里的存在与这个地方的温泉和军事性质以及它的烈士记忆相交叉,一方面是二战后不久德国人口的转移,另一方面是20世纪50年代的政治犯,他们被迫在当地的铀矿做奴隶劳动。所有这些层次今天仍然存在——参考Karolina的书的标题Ćwiek-Rogalska——在Jáchymov的夏季景观中,空气打破了现实的形象,使它变得流动,有点难以捉摸。正是这种不同层次的记忆、回忆和遗忘,我想在我的文章中加以识别和描述。

期刊介绍: Journal of Nationalism, Memory & Language Politics is a peer-reviewed journal published by De Gruyter on behalf of the Charles University. It is committed to exploring divergent scholarly opinions, research and theories of current international academic experts, and is a forum for discussion and hopes to encourage free-thinking and debate among academics, young researchers and professionals over issues of importance to the politics of identity and memory as well as the political dimensions of language policy in the 20th and 21st centuries. The journal is indexed with and included in Google Scholar, EBSCO, CEEOL and SCOPUS. We encourage research articles that employ qualitative or quantitative methodologies as well as empirical historical analyses regarding, but not limited to, the following issues: -Trends in nationalist development, whether historical or contemporary -Policies regarding national and international institutions of memory as well as investigations into the creation and/or dissemination of cultural memory -The implementation and political repercussions of language policies in various regional and global contexts -The formation, cohesion and perseverance of national or regional identity along with the relationships between minority and majority populations -The role ethnicity plays in nationalism and national identity -How the issue of victimhood contributes to national or regional self-perception -Priority is given to issues pertaining to the 20th and 21st century political developments While our focus is on empirical articles, our scope remains open to exceptional theoretical works (especially if they incorporate empirical research), book reviews and translations.
