This article establishes a theoretical position that distinguishes between what is called conditional tense documentary and historical fake documentaries. In order to do this, the gap between a statement and the enunciation, and the concept of discursive community, will be the fundamental tools. Then, analyses of four historical fake documentaries are made. These movies affirm (not conjecture) alternative pasts and presents through the expressive tools of the documentary. This allows us to distinguish between the multiplicity of truths and the affirmation of a truth, the latter being the political project of fake documentary, and the emancipatory potential it has within documentary cinema. ; En este texto se establece una posición teórica que distingue a lo que se ha llamado documentales en tiempo condicional de los falsos documentales históricos. Para ello, la brecha entre el enunciado y la enunciación, del modo en que la entiende el psicoanálisis, así como el concepto de comunidad discursiva, resultan las herramientas fundamentales. Posteriormente, se analizan cuatro falsos documentales históricos que presentan pasados y presentes alternativos que se afirman (no se conjeturan) a través de las herramientas expresivas del documental. Esto permite establecer una distinción entre la multiplicación de verdades y la afirmación de una verdad, siendo esta segunda la apuesta política del falso documental, y su potencial de emancipación al interior del saber documental.

This book gives an insight into the media constructions of historical remembrance reflecting transnational, national or nationalistic forms of politics. Authors from post-Yugoslavia and neighbouring countries focus on the diverse transnational (such as Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav etc.) and national (such as Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian etc.) memory cultures in South-Eastern Europe, their interference and rivalry.

The article is devoted to the analysis and description of patriotism as the most important moral and social category of human consciousness. It is noted the special role in the military-patriotic education of the "Ready for Labor and Defense" complex and the related system of support and development of physical culture and sports in the USSR. Having emerged as a complex that combines military and sports training with agitation, the complex, no doubt, was an important part of the country's overall contribution to victory in the Great Patriotic War. Nevertheless, in the post-war period, there is a noticeable tendency towards the gradual transformation of the complex into a purely recreational complex.

AbstractIn the context of sustained interest in the mobilization of diasporic identities, I consider how and why diasporic identities might be demobilized over time. I use the case of an Indian Pakistani community in the UK and the USA (sometimes referred to as 'Bihari') to examine how historical memories of conflict are narrated in diaspora and the impact this has on the presence or absence of 'diasporic consciousness'. The significance of memory in diasporic and transnational communities has been neglected, especially where the narration of historical events is concerned. The impact of forgetting has received particularly scant attention. I argue that, in the absence of this story, important lessons about the role of history in the formation of community are obscured. In this example, the 'latent' identities created on diaspora's demobilization help us to unpick the dyadic relations of 'home' and 'away' at the heart of essentialist conceptualizations of the concept.
