STALIN'S BOOTS AND THE MARCH OF HISTORY (POST-COMMUNIST MEMORIES)

Vegso, Roland

Cultural critique, 01/2013, Volume: 83, Issue: 83

Journal Article

The article argues for a revaluation of the politics of traumatic historical narratives by reconsidering the structure of the Freudian death drive. It claims that the drive is best understood in terms of the mutual imbrication of nostalgic and traumatic repetitions. This theoretical argument provides the foundation for an analysis of the structure of the so-called “post-Communist subject.” Relying on Giorgio Agamben's eschatological definition of photography, the article concludes with a discussion of a photograph that captures a symbolically significant moment of the 1956 Hungarian revolution: the destruction of Stalin's statue in Budapest on October 23, 1956.
