Abstract

Kleist discusses academic approaches to social memory and migration while offering a novel concept of political memories for the analysis of the memory and migration nexus. He explores some of the connections and challenges that link the two areas by focussing on belonging and integration, and the political, historical, and social dimensions thereof. Drawing on these concepts, he shows how the memory and migration nexus appears within current debates in memory studies, migration studies, and Australian studies.

Social memories, Kleist argues, should be related to larger social and political practices to analyse their role, function, and relevance therein. In particular, he introduces the concept political memories with two distinct forms of memory and two related modes of belonging that contain particular perceptions of the past and the present. In relation to migration he outlines academic debates about communal and civic belonging to consider migrant incorporation and citizenship by drawing on a broad range of political theories regarding citizenship, nationalism, and sovereignty. With reference to Australian history he points out that the question of belonging poses a fundamental challenge to Australian society and has deeply shaped its history. Finally, Kleist brings these discussions together by looking at commemorations as memories and their role in the construction of social groups in Australia. Studying their conflicts about the past, he suggests, teaches us about the political construction of society and its tensions of belonging, both in regard to memory and migration.
