Dear Mariam Gersamia , I could try to help you if I knew the civil memory of which particular geography you are interested in.

Dear Elmar, mostly interested in Europe and post-soviet countries.

Mariam Gersamia

Is civic/civil memory you are looking for is a part of national identity?

Regards

Dear Saif

Might be considered.

Mariam Gersamia , I suggest that you find the Soviet Encyclopedia of the post-soviet country that you are interested in and use the internet archive, which can be very useful. Good luck!

Thanks

if you're looking for memories you could start with baskets- stories of the baskets that people remember in their family homes, work environments- it's a good trigger for memory

Thanks a lot!

@Geraldine Jones

Can you specify what do you mean in "baskets - stories"?

Dear Mariam Gersamia , I would like to suggest to you the following paper written by my PhD's supervisor:

Zamperini, A., & Passarella, L. (2017). Testimony of terrorism: Civic responsibility and memory work after a political massacre. Memory Studies, 12(6), 721-735. https://doi.org/10.1177/1750698017720255

It comes from an Italian highly controversial historical and political period, and it is followed by a psychosocial analysis of types of testimonies in the light of civic responsibility.

Mariam Gersamia Oh, I am really sorry, you are right! My supervisor is Zamperini A. We are working on the social and collective memorialization of undocumented migrants' deaths at the Euro-African maritime border, the Mediterranean Sea!

Hello! If you want to take a look at my work, I have some paper in this domain. https://www.researchgate.net/project/Social-responsability. Thank you!
