Abstract
Chapter 5 discusses the struggle for memory institutionalization. Given
the role of schools in intergenerational memory transmission, part of the
empirical analysis focuses on the controversies surrounding the place of
June 4 in the secondary school curriculum. Besides, the chapter examines
efforts by the Alliance and other activist groups to establish enduring
“sites of memory” for Tiananmen. Specifically, the struggles surrounding
the placement of June 4-related monuments on university campuses and
the project of a permanent June 4th Museum are examined.
