Narrating World War II: Transcultural Articulations of Postmemory in Literature and Other Media
The primary objective of this issue of Status Quaestionis is to provide readers with an overview of
transcultural articulations of the postmemory of World War II in literature and other media. The
contributions offer patterns of profitable dynamics that go beyond competitive logics of remembrance,
thus creating a transnational, intercultural, intersecting, and multidirectional dialogue between different
memorial subjects and histories. The research aims at promoting and enhancing intellectual exchanges on
the multiple narratives of World War II within an interdisciplinary framework, while also pondering on the
potential of postmemory as an effective methodology for dealing with the psychological, cultural, and
artistic aftereffects of the “total war”
