This article theorizes connected memory, or in other words how people remember each other's memories, through the connected histories of territorial partition in different contexts. It claims that social memories can travel beyond their original context, pushing beyond efforts to understand supranational “mnemonic communities,” or to understand cosmopolitan memory as a thin memory community encompassing all humanity. It builds on the idea of “connected histories,” arguing that existing approaches to social memory in world politics either neglect connections across national and regional boundaries or scale up the national model to the global level. The article uses the history of territorial partitions as an illustration of three types of connected memory: sympathetic, vicarious, and modular. Partition has often been studied in comparative or aggregative ways, ruling out the possibility that partitions affect each other. But from the partitions of Poland to the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, to Ireland, Palestine, and India, partitions have often been events remembered beyond the national context and in the plural. Such memories have, in turn, altered the imaginable possibilities of the future, for example, by providing precedents for or warnings about future partitions.

连接的记忆：从波兰到印度的国际分治政治

本文通过不同语境下领土划分的相关历史，理论化了相关记忆，或者换句话说，人们如何记住彼此的记忆。它声称，社会记忆可以超越其原始背景，超越理解超国家“记忆社区”的努力，或者将世界记忆理解为包含全人类的薄记忆社区。它建立在“相互关联的历史”的理念之上，认为世界政治中现有的社会记忆方法要么忽视跨越国家和地区边界的联系，要么将国家模式扩大到全球层面。这篇文章使用地域划分的历史来说明三种类型的连接记忆：交感记忆、替代记忆和模块化记忆。分区经常以比较或汇总的方式进行研究，排除分区相互影响的可能性。但从波兰的瓜分到奥斯曼帝国的解体，再到爱尔兰、巴勒斯坦和印度，瓜分往往是超越国家背景和复数形式的事件。反过来，这样的记忆改变了未来可想象的可能性，例如，通过为未来分区提供先例或警告。
