Mourning, melancholia and violence
pp. 135-154
Abstract
Today the past has achieved a kind of iconic, even sacred status. Remembering the past is now widely understood as a valuable activity in and of itself; … We have become a society of ‘memory groups’ where one’s claim to group membership typically goes unchallenged because a common past … constitutes an area of discourse that cannot be contested.1
