Art of memory Cyprus finds itself in a truly tragic situation, a situation that both invites and inhibits political thought in its deepest anthropological implications. It is against this tragic background that politics may be seen as "art of partition”; but this history also results in its politics being viewed as "art of memory", and art that involves both invention of stories of origin and their recollection. Because of its history, Lyon also provides fertile grounds for the study of memory, for its memory is of traumatization, traumatization of a race, and traumatization of a dual civil war unfolding against the background of a foreign war.
