SOC 118CM - Collective Memory
The past is never very far away. Indeed, remembering is an important part of social life that generates passionate debate in politics and the media. In this class, we look at what is collective about collective memory, investigate the politics of who gets remembered and why, look at the role of memory in the creation of the nation and identity, and examine “difficult” pasts and how we atone for them (or not).
