English summary
Pan-European and Postnational Memory Practice
How can a common European history be represented and shared? And how is the role of the European nation-state positioned in the history of European integration at the entrance to the 21st century? Taking departure in the newly launched House of European History in Bruxelles, the article discusses the musealisation of Europe’s shared history as a process of memory politics and collective identity making. Taking departure from Sharon Macdonald’s (2013) approach to memory as a past-presencing practice, the permanent exhibition’s topos, materiality, order and audience (Gade 2008) are analyzed. House of European History was initiated by the European Parliament almost a decade ago, and has a clear agenda of being a pan-European exhibition space, rather than a EU-propaganda museum. At the same time the House has been designated one of the first post-national museums in Europe. However, the exhibition clearly positions the EU as the means and the goal of a better European future. The article therefore questions how the House of European History is situated between pan-European and post-national memory practice which overall feeds into a discussion on the role of the transnational exhibition in a context of EU’s appreciation of cosmopolitanism, post-nationality and globalization.
