摘要对波兰侦探小说作家马雷克·克拉杰斯基与乌克兰著名后现代主义小说作家和通俗历史出版物Iurii Vynnchyuk的作品中城市记忆的唤起进行了比较分析。形成这些作家作品的焦点的城市，克拉杰斯基的克罗克/洛和维尼丘克的L的活，都在二战后经历了大规模的人口迁移，这意味着战后人口对战前城市的记忆很少或根本不记得。这种脱节的遗产至今仍能感受到。这项研究展示了两位作家如何通过一系列相似的记忆策略重新创造了一种记忆感，并得出结论，这些作家作品中记忆的重建可以理解为玛丽安·赫希所说的后记忆，但这是从赫希最初概念的创伤语境中移除的后记忆。也有人认为，这些作家通过对表面上难以接近的过去的富有想象力和可获得性的再现，证明了在缺乏“沟通记忆”的情况下，可以产生有效的“文化记忆”。这是通过使用大众文化形式来实现的，一些城市记忆理论家认为这种形式只会有助于遗忘。
Abstract A comparative analysis is made of the evocation of urban memory in the work of the Polish author of detective fiction Marek Krajewski and the leading Ukrainian writer of postmodernist fiction and popular historical publications Iurii Vynnchyuk. The cities that form the focus of the work of these writers, Wroc/law for Krajewski and L′viv for Vynnychuk, both experienced massive population shifts after World War II, meaning that the postwar populations had little or no memory of the pre-war cities. The legacy of this disjunction can be felt to this day. This study demonstrates how both writers re-create a sense of memory through a number of similar memory strategies and concludes that the recreation of memory in these writers’ work can be understood as what Marianne Hirsch calls postmemory, yet that this is postmemory removed from the traumatic context of Hirsch’s original concept. It is also argued that these writers demonstrate that an effective ‘cultural memory’ can be produced in a situation when ‘communicative memory’ is lacking, through an imaginative and accessible representation of the ostensibly inaccessible past. This is achieved through the utilization of mass cultural forms, which some theorists of urban memory see as conducive only to forgetting.
