Abstract (AI)
The ‘transnational turn’, which is challenging bounded views on national belonging, also opens up promising perspectives for memory studies. It fosters a rethinking and reconfiguring of national memories in the context of transnational connectedness. My sketch of seven types of transnational memories points to different empirical contexts in which states, politicians, jurists, activists, artists and scholars go beyond national borders and interests to conceptualise new forms of belonging, solidarity and cultural identification in a world characterised by streams of migration and the lingering impact of traumatic and entangled pasts.
Key Findings
1
States, politicians, jurists, activists, artists, and scholars participate in developing transnational forms of belonging, solidarity, and cultural identification.
2
The framework highlights how memory can be reconfigured beyond national frameworks in an interconnected world.
3
The paper outlines seven types of transnational memories, identifying distinct empirical contexts in which memory transcends national borders and interests.
4
The transnational turn challenges bounded concepts of national belonging and encourages memory studies to reconsider national memories through cross-border connectedness.
5
Transnational memories respond to migration flows and the continuing influence of traumatic, intertwined pasts.
