History , Memory , & Forgetting |
This course seeks to facilitate students ' critical thinking about history as constructions of the past . In the United States and throughout the world , debates and sometimes violent campaigns have focused on official narratives and commemorative depictions about the past that function to sustain existing norms of status and power . Who contributes to making these choices ? Whose voice , and thus perspective , remains muted ? How does this affect what stories about the past get told and how they get told ? Why do these questions and the manner they get resolved matter ? This course addresses a rich body of literature about collective memory , an emerging literature on cultural forgetting , and case studies relating to various current topics . |
