Abstract

The memory spaces that Victor Hugo designs in his novels are charged with myth and designed to inspire meaning. One can read this as a fictional compensation for a crisis of remembrance in his age: textual monuments were to be erected next to monuments of stone. Hugo also establishes a link between the cultural practices of remembrance and the historically changing media of storage. In Notre-Dame de Paris he develops a modern conception of text that is based on the idea of effacement, against the background of an unfolding of media change. A tension exists between the mythically charged lieux de mémoire and Hugo’s attempts to convey them in various media.
