Abstract

ABSTRACT Nation-states are not the only bodies to have invested in memory-building through the construction of war memorials. This article moves the analysis on from nation-states to firms. It undertakes an analysis of war memorials built by the Bank of England. At the close of World War I, the Bank of England was not yet a nationalized company. Yet, it still, like many other organizations, engaged in this process of memorialization. We show that businesses closely followed the habits of nation-states when it came to commemorating war. The building of monuments and the ceremonies, which took place around them, assigned values to the imagined communities, groups and nations. These events continue to the present day.

组织记忆中的战争纪念馆——以英格兰银行为例

民族国家并不是唯一通过建造战争纪念碑来投资记忆建设的机构。本文将分析从民族国家转向企业。它对英格兰银行建造的战争纪念碑进行了分析。在第一次世界大战结束时，英格兰银行还不是一家国有化的公司。然而，它仍然像许多其他组织一样，参与这一纪念过程。我们表明，当涉及到纪念战争时，企业密切遵循民族国家的习惯。纪念碑的建造和围绕它们举行的仪式赋予了想象中的社区、群体和国家价值。这些事件一直持续到今天。
