“…In his theory, experience is divided into two types: Erlebnis and Erfahrung, both of which can be rendered as 'experience' in English. Dilthey understands Erlebnis to represent non-verbal, non-interpreted experience and uses Erfahrung to name the verbal, processed, and interpreted form of the experience (see, for example, Eiranen 2015). He distinguishes, that is, between lived and reflective experience.…”

What was it like growing up during the Cold War? What can childhood memories tell us about state socialism and its aftermath? How can these intimate memories complicate history and redefine possible futures? These questions are at the heart of the (An)Archive: Childhood, Memory, and the Cold War. This edited collection stems from a collaboration between academics and artists who came together to collectively remember their own experiences of growing up on both sides of the ‘Iron Curtain’. Looking beyond official historical archives, the book gathers memories that have been erased or forgotten, delegitimized or essentialized, or, at best, reinterpreted nostalgically within the dominant frameworks of the East-West divide. And it reassembles and (re)stores these childhood memories in a form of an ‘anarchive’: a site for merging, mixing, connecting, but also juxtaposing personal experiences, public memory, political rhetoric, places, times, and artifacts. These acts and arts of collective remembering tell about possible futures―and the past’s futures―what life during the Cold War might have been but also what it has become. (An)Archive will be of particular interest to scholars in a variety of fields, but particularly to artists, educators, historians, social scientists, and others working with memory methodologies that range from collective biography to oral history, (auto)biography, autoethnography, and archives.

“…Narratology is the study of narrative structures and the ways in which stories are constructed and conveyed (Eiranen, et al, 2022). It seeks to identify the fundamental components of storytelling, such as plot, character, and setting, and to analyze how these elements are used to create meaning within a narrative (Afdholy, 2023).…”

This article explores the application of narratology and possible worlds theory in the study of religious literature in Indonesia. It begins by providing an overview of narratology and possible worlds theory and how these approaches can be applied to religious narratives. The significance of religious literature in Indonesia is then discussed, highlighting the role that these narratives play in shaping religious beliefs and practices. The article then explores the use of possible worlds theory in the study of Islamic epics, Javanese mystical texts, and Balinese Hindu texts, demonstrating the complex and multi-layered possible worlds created by these narratives. The section on reader responses examines how readers engage with and interpret religious texts, and how reader responses contribute to the construction of religious meaning. The conclusion summarizes the key insights gained from the study and explores the broader implications of this research for the study of religion and literature in other cultural and historical contexts.

“…A narrative is a chronicle endowed with a plot to connect various events and characters. Since these narratives are created at a point in time by individuals for a specific purpose, the historian can use them to find out about the past (Eiranen et al, 2022). As inherently subjective, narratives are infused with a particular sense-making structure or genre that transmits ‘transcultural messages about the nature of a shared reality’ (White, 1987: 1).…”

Chaos and comedy: The narrative of Samuel Turner III

The advent of World War I in Britain saw a politicisation of profit, heightened by pre-existing labour unrest, State intervention, industrial disruption and claims of profiteering. During this time, the prominent industrialist Sir Samuel Turner III (1878–1955) published two books on the role of business, and particularly profits, in society. As an example of contemporary media, we use these books to highlight how Turner conceptualised profits as representative of Britain's path to post-war success – a transition from darkness into light. We adopt narrative historiography and the genre of comedy to provide a framework for analysis. In doing so, we demonstrate how profit becomes a totalising and taken-for-granted concept representing both economic and social progress.
