Neutralizing the past
Remembrance is a legacy of war. For some, it is the scars left by the trauma. For others, it is the need to grieve. We all honor the heroes and condemn the traitors. We ask for justice to be served. Years later, we try to draw historical lessons. Monuments, memorials, museums, but also poems, novels, and movies come to mark the memories. We recognize that we cannot and ought not forget. Through action, through words, through art, and through law,…
The Sociology of Culture
Frames of Remembrance
What is the symbolic impact of the Vietnam War Memorial? How does television change our engagement with the past? Can the efforts to wipe out Communist legacies succeed? Should victims of the Holocaust be celebrated as heroes or as martyrs? These questions have a great deal in common, yet they are typically asked separately by people working in distinct research areas in different disciplines. Frames of Remembrance shares ideas and concerns acros…
The Cult of Information
As we devote ever-increasing resources to providing, or prohibiting, access to information via computer, Theodore Roszak reminds us that voluminous information does not necessarily lead to sound thinking. Data glut obscures basic questions of justice and purpose and may even hinder rather than enhance our productivity.

Neutralizing Memory
This exploration of the texture of contemporary Polish-Jewish relations has its origins in the author's haunting experience of growing up Polish and Jewish in Warsaw in the 1960s. It began with questions about silence: the silence of Jewish parents and the silence of once-Jewish towns, the silence in Auschwitz and the silence about anti-Semitism. But when the author went to Europe in 1983 to work on the project that resulted in this book, Poland …
Problematizing the ‘Jewish Problem’
After the Holocaust
Polish Catholics today intensively discuss things Jewish, in a new spirit of warm interest and respect. An issue altogether missing from that public agenda, however, is the Catholic record in promoting antisemitism. The author suggests that this absence of moral self-questioning is a result of local historical experience and of the ways the Holocaust in particular entered the Poles' memory. Not recognizing the mythic qualities of anti-Jewishness …
