Resumen

Treinta años después del colapso del sistema soviético, el análisis de las memorias poscomunistas europeas constituye un prolífico ámbito de reflexión. El artículo se aproxima a ciertas claves del fenómeno. Aborda su explicación como prácticas transnacionales, aunque volcadas a la afirmación identitaria de lo nacional, en relación con ciertos debates interpretativos sobre las políticas de memoria. La segunda parte se acerca a dos marcos de conmemoración concretos que evidencian la fluidez de lo transnacional y lo local: el contexto balcánico, marcado por la traumática ruptura de la memoria multinacional yugoslava, pero asimismo por el peso de la nostalgia. Y a un símbolo con gran proyección transnacional –la cruz–, que se ha amoldado a requerimientos de cada memoria nacional al tiempo que se ha visto envuelto en crudas polémicas, por ejemplo, en oposición al valor alegórico dominante en Auschwitz.
