The Shadox Commemoration as “Counter-Nostalgia”
This article aims to analyze and understand the establishment of a process of "counter nostalgia" in the historical context of the commemorations of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Second World War in 1994. A highly "nostalgic" period, in many respects, in all its components: Resistance, Deportations, mass massacres, Allied landings, Liberation of the territory. It is the central figure of François Mitterrand, President of the Republic, who gives all the real and symbolic political meaning to historical ceremonies of commemorations where "nostalgia", "symbolic reiteration", the "festive", and paradoxically, in a more marginal way, the historical are at play.
