Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Silence, Screen, and Spectacle: Rethinking Social Memory in the Age of Information. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. In an age of information and new media the relationships between remembering and forgetting have changed. This volume addresses the tension between loud and often spectacular histories and those forgotten pasts we strain to hear. Employing social and cultural analysis, the essays within examine mnemonic technologies both new and old, and cover subjects as diverse as U.S. internment camps for Japanese Americans in WWII, the Canadian Indian Residential School system, Israeli memorial videos, and the desaparecidos in Argentina. Through these cases, the contributors argue for a re-interpretation of Guy Debord's notion of the spectacle as a conceptual apparatus through which to examine the contemporary landscape of social memory, arguing that the concept of spectacle might be developed in an age seen as dissatisfied with the present, nervous about the future, and obsessed with the past. Perhaps now "spectacle" can be thought of not as a tool of distraction employed solely by hegemonic powers, but instead as a device used to answer Walter Benjamin's plea to "explode the continuum of history" and bring our attention to now-time.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The restorative remedy that Hannah Arendt proposed within the otherwise unpredictable realm of political life was the act of forgiveness. Arendt perceived forgiveness as an imported faculty, one that is not part of the political process itself. In a close look at the role that forgiveness played in the framework of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa, this work contrasts this view with social views of forgiveness. What the South African case helps to show is that one cannot uncritically introduce forgiveness as a remedy for politics without a discussion of the various conflicts, necessary conventions and social conditions that such an ambitious prescription would demand. With the conditions that the act of forgiving demands on the interpersonal level and with the conditioning it undergoes when made part of an aggregate political process such as the construction of national unity, the struggle over forgiveness is part of the political process itself rather than an imported remedy.
