Abstract

Abstract:Statements by politicians on Russia’s unity and stability are omnipresent. This article deals with people’s daily narratives by focusing on the legacies of the Great Patriotic War in the city of Kaliningrad (previously Königsberg). In this endeavor, the article explores the immortal troop project, an alternative march to the official militaristic parade on May 9, which is devoted to the remembrance of people’s fate during the war. However, the narratives’ diversity and their potential as political counter narratives only becomes visible by taking into account people’s personal relationship to the city’s materiality. My arguments are based on long-term fieldwork, conducted between 2015 and 2017.

团结与稳定？伟大卫国战争在俄罗斯加里宁格勒战役中的遗产与纪念

摘要:政治家们关于俄罗斯团结与稳定的言论无处不在。本文通过关注伟大卫国战争在加里宁格勒市的遗产来处理人们的日常叙述(以前是Königsberg)。在这一努力中，本文探讨了不朽的部队项目，这是5月9日官方军国主义阅兵的另一种游行，旨在纪念战争期间的人们的命运。然而，只有考虑到人们与城市物质性的个人关系，叙事的多样性及其作为政治反叙事的潜力才会显现出来。我的观点基于2015年至2017年间进行的长期实地调查。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
