Project description

This project develops the concept of reparative remembering in the context of surviving and confronting far-right racist violence. Broadly defined, reparative remembering refers to a po-sition from which a subject can respond creatively to loss. More specifically, reparative stra-tegies have been proposed as a post-critical approach to the political, one that places value on art and aesthetics.

The project surveys and seeks to synthesise conceptual work primarily within cultural memory studies, art studies, and psychoanalysis. It then advances the understanding of reparative remembering by analysing the play Mölln 92/22 (David Calis 2022) as a space in which reparative remembering is enacted. In doing so, the project develops a definition of reparative remembering grounded in minority and postmigrant experiences of navigating the afterlives of far-right violence and the institutional racism it often exacerbates. The analysis also prepares the concept for application in the study of spatial practices.
