Omschrijving
This book reconstructs how claims to know ‘the lessons’ from past wrongdoings are made useful in the present. It does so by conceptualising four rhetorics of learning and how each of them links memories of past wrongdoings to opposition to present and future wrongdoings.
“Lessons from the past? addresses questions that are urgently raised, yet rarely tackled explicitly, in the ever-expanding body of literature on collective memory. In the process, Forchtner provides a valuable conceptual apparatus not only for scholars of memory but also sociologists of culture, politics, and knowledge more generally.” (Christina Simko, European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology, Vol. 5 (03), 2018)
