Abstract

ABSTRACT This article identifies a set of precarious, temporary, and travelling forms of commemoration that have been expressed in recent public artworks connected to Italy, and proposes them as case studies that together can enhance our understanding of how transnational memory is formed and functions across borders. These complex processes of memory-making are illustrated through a comparative analysis of Wes Anderson’s Bar Luce (2015), Thomas Hirschhorn’s Gramsci Monument (2013), and Muna Mussie’s Oblio (2021). The selected works, which together add transnational nuance to James E. Young’s concept of the ‘counter-monument’, enshrine the creativity which can reside in acts of forgetting and misremembering, in experiencing things second-hand or at a distance, and in re-materialising memory through tropes of ephemerality, portability, and dislocation.

在记忆与物质之间:意大利与公共艺术的跨国维度

摘要本文确定了最近与意大利有关的公共艺术品中表达的一系列不稳定、临时和旅行的纪念形式，并将其作为案例研究，共同提高我们对跨国记忆是如何形成和跨国界发挥作用的理解。通过对韦斯·安德森（Wes Anderson）的Bar-Luce（2015）、托马斯·赫希霍恩（Thomas Hirschhorn）的葛兰西纪念碑（Gramsci Monument）（2013）和穆娜·穆西（Muna Mussie）的Oblio（2021）的比较分析，可以说明这些复杂的记忆形成过程。这些精选作品共同为詹姆斯·E·杨的“反纪念碑”概念增添了跨国的细微差别，体现了创造力，这种创造力可以存在于遗忘和记错行为中，可以存在于二手或远距离的体验中，也可以存在于通过短暂性、可移植性和错位的比喻重新实现记忆中。
