Thesis (Ph.D.)--The New School, 2017.

In this dissertation, I examine how the Latvian national narrative was crafted and altered after the end of the Soviet regime. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union Latvian political memory has been dominated by a singular hegemonic narrative of the past, one which employed binary categories and was characterized by certain ethnocentric and self-defensive traits. In this dissertation I outline the national narrative, examine social conditions of its permanence, and observes social processes that challenge its dominance. In three case studies I show how such challenges appear as "cracks" in the Latvian national story that stem from historical inconsistencies -- past episodes, actors or periods that do not readily fit the dominant plotline and have contrasting representations in cultural and communicative memories. The cracks evolve from the complex interactions of various actors and mnemonic communities which do not always deliberately seek to break away from dominant representations of the past. Each of the three case studies I examine a distinct episode in Latvia's 20th century history. The first case study focuses on representations of the Soviet period in history education. The second follows contested reforms of a Soviet memorial dedicated to Latvian Riflemen in WWI. And the third case study focuses on a musical about a member of SS Einsatzgruppen (Nazi Auxiliary Security Police) in WWII. All three case studies probe the relationship between three modes of collective memory -- political, cultural, and communicative -- and show how the disparities between them can shift the political discourse of the past.
