Confronting Nazi continuities How can museums and institutions deal with the continuities of Nazism in the 21st century? This anthology is dedicated to curatorial formats and strategies that address mechanisms of repression and denial of Nazi history. The contributions analyze the normalization of fascist aesthetics and discourses. They position themselves within new debates about the politics of memory, seek ways to confront histories of violence, and reflect on contexts and projects in museums, universities, and public spaces. What role does memory play in curatorial projects that confront the tendency to ignore or dismiss Austria’s Nazi past? Do we deal with the topic in order not to have to deal with it? Or do we confront it in order to confront the continuities in the present?

- 7th volume of the /ecm (educating/curating/making) sub-series, with texts by international experts from theory and practice and works of art
