Description
Summary:Resumé Collective self-understanding, in which the making of historyand narratives is crucial, is not unproblematic. A shared historyand myths belonging to a certain group and a historical territory, arevital ingredients in the construction and forging of narratives and collectiveidentity. This paper aims to trail the interplay between socialperformance and the construction of narratives in times of crisis. Thecombination of memory, performance, and crisis is exemplifi ed througha sermon held by Ludvig Helveg in Odense on Palm Sunday 1864 at thetime of the 2nd War of Schleswig-Holstein. As the French psychiatristPierre Janet has said: “Memory is an action, essentially, it is the actionof telling and staging a story”. The staging of social performances servesto secure and strengthen a collective consciousness in the interplay betweenthe interpretation of the past, understanding of the present, andexpectations of the future.
