Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present, briefly describe and interpretall figures of memory, as well as representations and processes linked to the issue of local, cultural and/or collective memorial forms and social problems in the city of Cluj-Napoca. Subsequently, I have analyzed the process of cultural memoryperformance, the strategies of memoryformation and the social use and functions of memory, as they occur in one urban context. By sorting out Cluj-Napoca as my fieldwork, I intended to offer a more or less complete image on the use of time, techniques of dealing with the past and the relation between memory and locality. The analysis of memoryconstruction, its “spatialization” and use were grounded on a review and research of commemorative actions (memorial plaques and statues) as well as commemorative rituals and festivities.
