Finding joy, creativity and meaning through unusual interdisciplinary collaborations
Academics are increasingly calling for and asked to, work in interdisciplinary teams to address pressing social-ecological challenges. However, there are significant barriers to pursuing interdisciplinary collaborations within current university structures. Taking the first two years of our Centre for Unusual Collaborations (CUCo) as a case study of setting up a space for exploration and experimentation, we discuss how unusual interdisciplinary c…
Ecologies of violence: Cultural memory (studies) and the genocide–ecocide nexus
Ecocide and large-scale ecological degradation raise critical questions regarding guilt, justice, and responsibility. The complexity and scale of ecological violence present a singular challenge for memory studies, especially when it comes to understanding how we are implicated in this violence. Often, the way ecological violence is framed as violence relies on repertoires, forms and conventions for representing and commemorating genocides and ot…
On Strongmen. An Interview with Ruth Ben-Ghiat
Interview with Ruth Ben-Ghiat about her book Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present (2020), which examines how authoritarian leaders use corruption, violence, propaganda, and machismo to stay in power, and how resistance to them has unfolded over a century
Navigating Implication: An Interview with Michael Rothberg
This interview was conducted via email between February and early April 2020. We asked Rothberg to reflect on how his work relates to questions of perpetration, guilt, responsibility, and complicity. We also invited him to talk about the status of memory and commemoration, the relationship between implication and multidirectionality, the role of affect, and the special status he accords to art as a site for thinking through and making visible str…
Special Section on Michael Rothberg’s The Implicated Subject: Introduction
For this issue of JPR we have assembled a special section on The Implicated Subject in order to begin exploring the implications of Rothberg’s intervention for the field of perpetrator studies. The special section opens with an interview with Rothberg in which we asked him to reflect on how his work relates to questions of perpetration, guilt, responsibility, and complicity. The interview is followed by three responses to Rothberg’s book, all of …
The Historical Uncanny: Disability, Ethnicity, and the Politics of Holocaust Memory
The Historical Uncanny explores how certain memories become inscribed into the heritage of a country or region while others are suppressed or forgotten. In response to the erasure of historical memories that discomfit a public’s self-understanding, this book proposes the historical uncanny as that which resists reification precisely because it cannot be assimilated to dominant discourses of commemoration.Focusing on the problems of representation…
Memory and Repetition
In recent years, reenactment has emerged as a compelling and controversial form of coming to terms with the past (Vergangenheitsbewältigung). As reconstructions of past events inflected through contemporary contexts and concerns, reenactments prompt an affective, empathetic, and ethical engagement with the past. This makes them a particularly provocative means of engaging with the figure of the perpetrator and with questions of guilt, responsibil…
Introduction: Memory after Humanism
In ‘The Preserving Machine’, an early Philip K. Dick story published in 1953, an unnamed narrator pays a visit to his friend, the rather implausibly named Doctor Labyrinth, who, ‘like most people w
Memory Redux: Thefoibeon Italian Television
This article argues that the overwhelming success of the television drama Il cuore nel pozzo (Alberto Negrin, 2005) signals a shift in the conception of national history and identity in the Italian popular imagination. In conjunction with Negrin’s earlier film Perlasca: un eroe italiano (2002), the film can be read as a calculated and politically motivated attempt to re-code the memory of the Second World War as one of heroism and shared victimho…
