Commemoration of disruptive events: a scoping review about posttraumatic stress reactions and related factors
Collective commemoration in response to war or disaster is widespread across time and cultures. It is assumed to support those affected by the disruptive event to cope with their experiences. However, the actual relationship between commemoration and mental health outcomes is complicated and evidence of healing effects remains elusive. By applying a scoping review approach, this article maps empirical studies that focus on commemoration from a psychological perspective. Within five electronic databases, 415 unique articles were identified, of which 26 met the predetermined inclusion criteria, i.e. presenting empirical data on the subject of war or large-scale violence and commemoration in relation to posttraumatic stress (PTS) and grief reactions. The data were extracted and analysed according to the five steps of a systematic scoping review. Results varied, with both negative and positive effects of commemoration on PTS and grief reactions being reported. Based on these findings we propose an evidence-informed model that distinguishes different aspects influencing the linkage between commemoration and PTS and grief reactions. The following aspects are distinguished: contextual factors, including political and cultural context, individual characteristics and facilitating mechanism, including expression, recognition, support, meaning-making and personal memories. The proposed model needs to be tested and validated by further quantitative research. This will allow social workers and policy makers to make well-informed decisions about commemorative events that may benefit fractured communities as well as individuals.

Commemorating Irish and Scottish Famine Migrants in Glasgow: Migration, Community Memories and the Social Uses of Heritage
Public commemoration and performance are closely bound up with time, place and social arenas, the memorialization of the past serving a variety of goals. This article considers the memorialization of the experience of the famine that blighted Ireland and northern Scotland during the Victorian period, and focuses on Glasgow, one of Scotland's major cities and the destination of many famine migrants. It explores the instrumental use of the famine past in the public sphere in a city long haunted by the specter of sectarianism and considers the impact of the choices made by different collectives in the process of heritage making and remembrance of uncomfortable/difficult aspects of the past.

Unpacking the Unspoken: Silence in Collective Memory and Forgetting
Collective memory quite naturally brings to mind notions of mnemonic speech and representation. In this article, however, we propose that collective silences be thought of as a rich and promising arena through which to understand how groups deal with their collective pasts. In so doing, we explore two types of silence: overt silence and covert silence, and suggest that each may be used to enhance either memory or forgetting. We illustrate our conceptual scheme using data on the commemoration of slain Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

W.G. Sebald's Artistic Legacies
When the mind turns more than one would wish towards questions of - as W.G. Sebald puts it - the \"natural history of destruction\", comparative consideration by artists and interdisciplinary scholars is directed to the interstices between images, novel, essay, (auto)biography, memorial and travelogue. Artists have been among Sebald's most prolific interpreters - as they are among the more fearless and holistic researchers on questions concerning what it means never to be able to fix an identity, to tell a migrant's story, or to know where a historical trauma ends. Sebald has - as this book attests - also given artists and scholars a means to write with images, to embrace ambiguity, and to turn to today's migrants with empathy and responsibility; as well as to let academic research, creation and institutional engagement blend into or substantially inform one another in order to account for and enable such necessary work in the most diverse contexts.

Vandalizing Tainted Commemorations
My aims in this article are twofold. The first aim is to clarify the nature of commemorations and the disagreements about their treatment. In Section II, I argue that commemorations can be tainted in more ways than is commonly assumed. In Section III, I clarify the positions for and against removing commemorations, and argue that they are less naive than has been assumed. The second aim is to offer a qualified defense of vandalizing tainted commemorations in some circumstances. This is an option that has not been adequately considered within philosophical and public discourse. I argue that such political actions can constitute a plausible way of treating such commemorations, and which effectively negotiates the demands of the two opposing views. This defense comprises two parts. In Section IV, I assess the suggestions to establish counter‐commemorations and to add contextualizing information, in terms of how well they satisfy the demands of the two opposing views. I argue that while these responses are not ruled out in principle, they are often beset with difficulties. In Section V, I argue that a suitably constrained vandalism of tainted commemoration can succeed in satisfying the demands of the two opposing views and in addressing these difficulties. I conclude in Section VI.
