Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2013, Vol 18, Issue 18
Abstract
The volume reviewed consists in the study of memorial practices as means of reinventing the traditions of local ethnic communities, this time the French community, and their relationship with the cultural practices (folkloric, literary, historiographic, political) of the respective communities. At the same time the author captures the social dynamics, the mentalities and behaviors associated to memorial practices, the way in which they enact identity.
