More DescriptionSimilar to the 'Doing Gender', a 'Doing Memory' results in seemingly accurate attributions. The volume shows how history is narratively elaborated under different media and generational conditions. In comics and literature, the handling of a respective national politics of history is identified as a ludic strategy. Through the adoption of foreign literary and archival material, history is shown to be shaped by family in further examples. Performative actualisations are confirmed in exemplary re-enactments, past-present films and strategies of remembrance. The analyses are complemented by interviews with authors about found and invented biographies from the perspective of perpetrators and victims in literature and comics. Finally, the volume presents didactic approaches as a comic workshop and an interview with an author.
