Abstract

In 2015, the Moscow City Hall and the Gulag History Museum launched a competition for the creation of a commemorative monument dedicated to the victims of political repression in Russia during the 1920s to the 1950s. In this article we present three studies carried out on an array of 309 images (digital images, model photographs, drawings) related to the projects submitted for this competition. Each project image was accompanied by a text written by the author (artist, architect, designer). These images and texts were analyzed within the framework of the concept of collective memory and the theory of social representations. The first study focused on the texts and suggested that there are two dimensions of the collective memory about the commemorated event, a historical dimension and a human dimension. The second study focused on images, two dominant forms in the monument projects were identified. The third study showed that depending on whether the accompanying text favors the historical dimension of the event or its human dimension, the designers did not make identical use of the different architectural forms (identified in the previous study) to elaborate their project. These results suggest that the architectural forms of monument projects vary according to the historical vs. human dimension favored by the collective memory of their authors.

集体记忆的建筑形式

2015年，莫斯科市政厅和古拉格历史博物馆发起了一项竞赛，旨在为俄罗斯20世纪20年代至50年代政治镇压的受害者建造一座纪念纪念碑。在这篇文章中，我们介绍了对309张与本次竞赛项目相关的图像(数字图像、模型照片、图纸)进行的三项研究。每个项目图片都附有作者(艺术家、建筑师、设计师)撰写的文字。这些图像和文本在集体记忆概念和社会表征理论的框架内进行了分析。第一项研究侧重于文本，并提出关于纪念事件的集体记忆有两个维度，一个是历史维度，一个是人的维度。第二个研究重点是图像，确定了纪念碑项目的两种主要形式。第三项研究表明，根据所附文本是倾向于事件的历史维度还是人文维度，设计师并没有完全使用不同的建筑形式(在前一项研究中确定)来阐述他们的项目。这些结果表明，纪念碑项目的建筑形式根据其作者的集体记忆所青睐的历史与人文维度而变化。
