The essay advances a constitutional theory of public memory, situating public powers as a legitimate and indispensable actor in memorial processes within democratic constitutionalism. It contends that public memory should be understood not as a fixed narrative but as a plural, dialogical arena where collective identity is continuously negotiated through constitutional values. Against the background of the current “memorial fatigue” and the prevalence of victim-centered paradigms, the study argues that the legitimacy of state intervention in memory politics depends on its conformity with constitutional principles of pluralism, participation, and the rule of law.

Abstract
The essay advances a constitutional theory of public memory, situating public powers as a legitimate and indispensable actor in memorial processes within democratic constitutionalism. It contends that public memory should be understood not as a fixed narrative but as a plural, dialogical arena where collective identity is continuously negotiated through constitutional values. Against the background of the current “memorial fatigue” and the prevalence of victim-centered paradigms, the study argues that the legitimacy of state intervention in memory politics depends on its conformity with constitutional principles of pluralism, participation, and the rule of law.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
