World Culture in European Memory Politics? New European Memory Agents Between Epistemic Framing and Political Agenda Setting

In this contribution, we focus on the efforts dedicated to creating a ‘European’ memory culture, particularly since EU enlargement in 2004. Based upon analytical premises of neo-institutionalist world society studies, we interpret memory politics as a project that is not only driven forward by political movements and policy-makers, but also by quasi-neutral epistemic agents of memory deliberately pursuing knowledge-based strategies of agenda setting. This has been an important dimension of memory politics in former debates, especially in debates over Holocaust memory.Büttner, Sebastian M. / Delius, Anna (2015): World Culture in European Memory Politics?
