Research questions regarding the three levels of nation, city, and school

  • How does history materialize in the city and how is it symbolically anchored, overlaid, transformed, renewed or reconstructed?
  • Which layers of memory are privileged, which, on the contrary, forgotten or suppressed?
  • Question for constellations of actors: Who takes part in these processes, who ignores them, who is excluded?
  • How is the collective memory of the urban society influenced by migrants? Which possibilities do they have to help shape the 'memory of the city'?
  • Which effects does a political change of regime have on the local level?
  • What happens when national and local memory differ strongly from each other?
