Les monuments aux morts comme fondateurs de l'identité des survivants

Abstract Cet article prend pour objet l'injonction à la commémoration collective dont les monuments dédiés aux soldats morts au combat portent témoignage. l'article retrace la manière dont cette injonction a pu revêtir une historicité caractéristique des Temps modernes. Ce travail vise à dégager l'arrière-plan duquel émerge la volonté de commémoration politique qu'affichent les monuments aux morts. Selon son argument principal, la fonctionnalisation politique et la démocratisation croissantes de la commémoration dont témoigne l'extension des monuments aux morts depuis la Révolution française n'ont été rendues possibles que par un long processus de sécularisation. The theme of this article is the injunction to collective commemoration presented by monuments raised in honor soldiers killed in combat. This article examines the way in which this injunction displays an historical movement characteristic of Modern Times. It attempts to identity the historical basis from which emerged the will to political commemoration that the war monuments express. According to the argument adopted here, the growing political functionalization and democratization of commemoration, to which the great extension of war monuments since the French Revolution attests, become possible through a long process of secularization.
