Life story as cultural memory: making and mediating Baltic socialism since 1989

Ene Kõresaar

Journal of Baltic Studies, 2016, vol. 47, issue 4, 431-449

Abstract: This article creates a conceptual and methodological framework for reading case studies. First, it conceptualizes life story and oral history as medium of memory of the twentieth century. Second, it demonstrates how individual, social, and political formats and dimensions of memory intersect in remembering the Baltic socialism. Third, it shows how in a common attempt to remember the socialist past, groups and individuals encounter considerable differences of temporal horizon as well as differences in attributing importance to experiences and events.
