Summary: Defines and traces the evolution of a new memorial paradigm: a conflation of memorials and cemeteries used to commemorate significant events that challenge myths of national identity. Identifies specific strategies of diversion and denial that shift the focus away from nationally destabilizing events in order to focus on the valorization of victims. Analyzes anniversary rituals to document evolving interpretations of these national traumas. Introduces the concept of visual reenactment as a significant strategy of memorialization rooted in repetition rather than reflection.
