Representations of Slavery and the Civil War of 1861–1865

View through CrossRef
Культурная граница между Севером и Югом США, образовавшаяся в результате различий в их истории, в первую очередь в связи с рабством черных, не исчезла и по сей день. Она остается значимым культурным и социально-политическим фактором общественной жизни страны, а «северянин» и «южанин» – узнаваемыми типажами. В статье показано на примере сложности и конфликтности исторической памяти о Гражданской войне, рабстве и его отмене в США, как через коллективную память история не просто вторгается в современность, а присутствует в ней, в т.ч. в виде ме-мориалов, памятников, музейных экспозиций, и в огромной степени определяет ее. The cultural frontier between the US North and the South that had appeared as an outcome of differences in their history, first of all with respect to slavery, has not disappeared up to now. It remains an important cultural and socio-political factor in public life, and “Northern” and “Southern” character types are still recognizable. By the example of complexity and inconsistency of the historical memory of the Civil War, slavery, and its abolition in the USA, the paper documents how through the collective memory, history does not just invade modernity but is present in it, particularly in the form of memorials, monuments, museum expositions, and therefore determines modernity to a large degree.
