MEMORIAL IN
BECOMING

aflenz memorial in becoming is a long-term memorialization project by artist Milica Tomić in collaboration with the Municipality of Wagna; Institute for Art in Public Space, Universalmuseum Joanneum; Retzhof - Bildungshaus des Landes Steiermark in collaboration with coop-eb; and IZK – Institute for Contemporary Art, Faculty of Architecture, Graz University of Technology. The project is supported by the State Government of Styria, Department 9 Culture, Europe, Sport (Land Steiermark, Abteilung 9 Kultur, Europa, Sport). This project is based on the concept of Investigative Memorialization, coined by artist Milica Tomić, as a non-commemorative, transdisciplinary and collective approach to memorialization, that takes distance from the forced and frozen reconciliation of conflicted sides, understanding that any act of memorialization of the site cannot be a static stating of the facts. Today, it is imperative to understand World War II and National Socialism as a moment in time when colonial practices return to and took hold on the European continent. Having spread across territories and soils, these practices, once confined to the colonial context, continue to inform our ideas of minerals, species, race, and gender, permeating our behaviors, institutions, and imaginary into the present day.

Evolving from the loaded and manifold agency of soil, the conference “Life of Crops” seeks to uncover the inscription of war and labor within the earth, starting with the repressed history of the labor camp Aflenz an der Sulm in the south of Austria.1 Learning from post-processual archaeology and employing a wide range of analyses and approaches, soil reveals itself as an agent in building ideological hierarchies of class and race through the relations of labor and property ownership. Against the taxonomic flattening and colonial condition of the soil, the “Life of Crops” approaches soil as a living archive, a landscape bearing all layers of violence, shifting between the labor of life and the labor of death.

The "Life of Crops” investigative conference brings together twenty-two internationally renowned authors from the fields of psychoanalysis, philosophy, cultural theory, feminism, archeology, history, architectural theory, art, and activism to meet and work together on urgent contemporary questions such as war and capital; (neo)colonialism, property and extractivism; migration and labor conditions; environmental, gender, and class justice.

The “Life of Crops” conference draws the concept of investigative memorialization – an anti-commemorative practice – standing for an investigation that reveals and introduces suppressed knowledges by means of various practices on the sites where (anti)events took place. Investigative memorialization posits that the active and everyday power of unknowing2 cannot be countered by commemoration as a static and ossifying act of remembrance. In other words, investigative memorialization opposes the idea of commemoration caught between two opposite, fixed identities, victims and perpetrators, each representing its own position in a frozen and stabilized relationship. This concept also brings into question the notion of temporally contained event. Instead of an inert historical closure, we look at the event as a spatial and temporal continuity (spatial event).

Through the optics of investigative memorialization we analyse Aflenz an der Sulm, the site of a former labor camp and today a quaint Austrian village in a process of transformation from rural into peri-urban area. The discursive space of knowledge we are opening with the conference should destabilize, among other things, the picturesque image of the agricultural landscape, constructed in the western canon as the image of peace and prosperity.

Looking at different disciplines and learning from the post-processual, reflective archeological methodology and materialist history, investigative memorialization makes the particular site of Aflenz an der Sulm readable as a nod in the entanglement of larger, global networks of socio-economic conditions revealing how nature, agriculture, and everyday life continuously write into the place.

We have invited thinkers who in their work understand the limits and the epistemic violence existing at the core of their disciplinary formations, mainly from disciplines whose knowledge is crucial for unpacking the “spatial event” and its resonance: understanding war as an integral instrument of capital (Alliez), the conference “Life of Crops,” posits privatization and property as a juridical concept in colonialism (Bhandar) as crucial for capitalism’s capacity to racialize (Herscher), and National Socialism as an attempt at absolute privatization (Stojanović). The conference looks at how ‘neutralized’ concepts such as cultivation (Bhandar), plantation (Binboğa), and expertise (Çaylı and Malterre-Barthes) are used to further enclose not only bodies, nature, and land, but also the imaginary (Malcomess) and perception (Peraica). The concept of property, which turns soil and land from living things into an abstraction, produces a new type of subjectivity, defined by the ability to own not only the land and what grows and lives on it, but also those who work it (Coelho). With the emergence of the figure of the worker, as one who does not own anything, freedom and labor power cannot be decoupled from slavery, which continuously shapes the organization of labor to this day (Perz, doplgenger, Ferrini). The scorched earth (Kehar) and bare bones (Bago), rendered mute and suspended in time by capital, are not without past and future, nor are they without their own knowledges.

By refusing to return to the “normative” as defined by capital, both ruin (Sadek) and desert (El Baroni), rather than being understood as a failure to be productive, can be seen as world-making realities in which the epistemic violence of capital is acknowledged and countered. This means also recognizing the work by the non-anthropogenic factors, such as the work of soil to repair and reconstruct (Reisinger). While soil plays an important role in the construction of fascist and colonialist narrative and imaginary, enclosing techniques such as agronomy or seed engineering can become instruments of anti-colonial struggle (Cesar) and carriers of memory and resistance (Sheikh), precisely because of their power to activate a countermemory of soil (González-Ruibal). Thinking towards an anti-capitalist and anti-colonial horizon, even cultivation (Black) and property (Stojanović) can make equitable worlds.

  2. Manu Vimalassery, Juliana Hu Pegues, and Alyosha Goldstein in text “On Colonial Unknowing” state that “unknowing in this sense establishes what can count as evidence, proof, or possibility—aims to secure the terms of reason and reasonableness— as much as it works to dissociate and ignore. Even as colonialism as a constitutive and current condition is disavowed, the historical “fact” of colonization assumes an irrefutability that forecloses possibilities for futures otherwise.” ↩

            2. The Memorial in Becoming Library is the important segment of the body of knowledge assembled as part of the Aflenz Memorial in Becoming project. A central idea behind the library comes from Harney and Moten, who state in The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning & Black Study (2013) that in reading and writing there are “things to do, places to go, and people to see,” thus providing an opportunity to “figure out some kind of ethically responsible way to be in that world with other things.” With this idea, we have invited all participants in the conference to contribute to the library by recommending five items that they consider relevant for their position. By bringing these recommendations together, we assemble a library catalogue, which grows with every phase of the project. Each set of recommendations works as a specific reading list, becoming an agent for the activation of the library as a whole. The Memorial in Becoming Library will have both a digital and a material, physical presence in the conference.
