  • A Monumental Past
    KATHOLIEKE UNIVERSITEIT LEUVEN Faculty of Arts Institute for Cultural Studies A MONUMENTAL PAST AN EXPLORATION OF THE RELATION BETWEEN THE ENDURING POPULARITY OF THE MENIN GATE AND THE COMMEMORATION OF WORLD WAR ONE IN BRITAIN Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Cultural Studies Advisor by M. Bl eyen Myrthel Van Etterbeeck 2011-2012 ABSTRACT Wereldoorlog I gaf in Groot Brittannië aanleiding tot een groots herinneringsproject. Door een proces van selectie, articulatie, herhaling en weglating creëerde de Britten een gezuiverde herinnering aan het moeilijke verleden van de oorlog dat hen kon helpen bij het verwerken van verdriet en het eren en herdenken van de doden. Het Britse monument de Menenpoort, nabij het centrum van Ieper, is voortgekomen uit dit project en is gewijd aan de Britse soldaten die vermist raakten in de drie slagen bij Ieper. Sinds de oprichting, in 1927, komen mensen er samen om de gevallenen van de oorlog te herdenken. In zijn vijfentachtig jarige bestaan heeft het miljoenen bezoekers ontvangen en de laatste 30 jaar is het enkel in populariteit toegenomen. Deze thesis onderzoekt de relatie tussen de voortdurende populariteit van de Menenpoort en de Britse herdenking van, en herinneringen aan de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Daarbij word gebruik gemaakt van het theoretische kader van ‘memory studies’ met name de typologie van Aleida Assmann. Zij definieert sociale herinneringen als een vorm van herinneren die zich ontwikkelt tussen en gedeeld wordt door verschillende mensen maar gefundeerd blijft in geleefde ervaring. Deze vorm van herinneren kan een hele natie of generatie omspannen maar verdwijnt met zijn dragers.
