本文从政治科学的角度审视集体记忆的形成——对纪念碑、记忆和公共空间的研究。一个明确的理论关注“纪念碑政治”中的权力关系和一个以大n比较分析为特征的方法论方法相结合，来研究纪念碑的创造、破坏和改变的过程。利用一个关于25年来26个后共产主义国家的纪念碑的新数据库，确定了纪念碑改造的模式，并系统地比较了不同政权类型下官方和私人改造纪念碑的努力。还讨论了私人提供和改变纪念碑的复杂含义。
This article looks at collective memory formation—the study of monuments, memory, and public space—through a political science lens. An explicit theoretical focus on power relations in "monumental politics" and a methodological approach featuring large-N comparative analysis are combined to examine the process of monument creation, destruction, and alteration. Using a new database on monuments in 26 post-communist states over a 25-year period, patterns of monument transformation are identified, and official and private efforts to transform monuments are systematically compared across different regime types. The complex implications of private provision and alteration of monuments is also discussed.
