I discovered the blog this week Anna, I hasten to add in my blogroll. In a very interesting exchange, Annick me a comment on the collective consciousness that I find fascinating because it introduces a new line of thought on this blog. So I decided to make a ticket this comment: Happy reading!
(...) studies on collective memory have been conducted and it turns out that it obeys rhythms (not fully explained elsewhere)
A scholar Maurice Halbwachs (* ) devoted his work almost entirely to the study of the collective conscience as individuals, human societies experiencing shock and react by removing the depths of their memory of destructive events. The collective consciousness is then, slowly, to tame the horror. Only after a long period of maturation that communication, then the analysis will be possible.
Elie Wiesel in his book "All the rivers run into the sea" and in his speech in 2006 (International Festival of Literature in Mantua) analyzes the mysterious meanderings: the survivors of the Holocaust have long refused to speak and were hardly questioned either.
"Mankind" by Robert Anthelme , testimony of the concentration camps, wrote in 1947, was little read and quickly fell into oblivion. Yet At the time nobody could ignore the extermination of over 6 million people. But the Holocaust was forgotten for more than two generations, streaming into the universal consciousness.
Raul Hilberg is one of the greatest historian of the Holocaust. In 1961, his work "the destruction of European Jews" had virtually no response. In 1985, the reissue of his work known, however, a considerable response.
"We are witnessing the emergence of a another buried memory, that of formerly colonized peoples of the Southern Hemisphere. 'I live a long silence, I live in a hopeless thirst written Aime Cesaire. As Jewish memory, that of former colonial peoples have experienced a long silence, followed by a rude awakening. "(Jean Ziegler )
I draw attention to the fact that child slaves there are hundreds of thousands in Nigeria. With our complicity, of course ... (that of the Banque de France, Shell, to name a few.)
(*) died Buchenwald shortly before the liberation of the camps in 1945.
