    摘要、提要註: Immediately after Bloody Sunday (1972) newspaper coverage employed the metaphor of the Holocaust to interpret the shooting dead of thirteencivilians while peacefully marching against internmentin Derry, Northern Ireland. This early global idiom virtually disappeared in the 1970sand 1980s andmade a surprising comeback in the 1990s. In Commemoration and Bloody Sunday, Brian Conway uses the case of Bloody Sunday as a window onto the way sociologists theorize about the 'making' of memory and changing interpretations of the past. Focusing on the role of agency, contexts and temporality, and drawing on original empirical data frominterviews, archival research and participant observation, heexaminesearly interpretative struggles between Irish republicans and civil rights activists over the meaning of the event and how this was de-politicized in the 1990s in the quest for power to definethe truth of what happened. Although the case that Conway examines has special relevance toour understanding of difficult pasts in Northern Irish society, it also has application to broader debatesincollective memory. The author highlights the layered nature of memory work; discursive battles overownership of the past; the changeable nature of embodied remembrance and its relation to textualmemory; the relationship between local contextsand international conditions in shaping commemorative strategies; and the use of different genres in remembering the past.
