A shared history<br />and myths belonging to a certain group and a historical territory, are<br />vital ingredients in the construction and forging of narratives and collective<br />identity. This paper aims to trail the interplay between social<br />performance and the construction of narratives in times of crisis. The<br />combination of memory, performance, and crisis is exemplifi ed through<br />a sermon held by Ludvig Helveg in Odense on Palm Sunday 1864 at the<br />time of the 2nd War of Schleswig-Holstein. As the French psychiatrist<br />Pierre Janet has said: “Memory is an action, essentially, it is the action<br />of telling and staging a story”. The staging of social performances serves<br />to secure and strengthen a collective consciousness in the interplay between<br />the interpretation of the past, understanding of the present, and<br />expectations of the future.</p> ER -
