Download or read book Forbidden Memory written by Tsering Woeser and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Red Guards arrived in Tibet in 1966, intent on creating a classless society, they unleashed a decade of revolutionary violence, political rallies, and factional warfare marked by the ransacking of temples, the destruction of religious artifacts, the burning of books, and the public humiliation of Tibet’s remaining lamas and scholars. Within Tibet, discussion of those events has long been banned, and no visual records of this history were known to have survived. In Forbidden Memory the leading Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser presents three hundred previously unseen photographs taken by her father, then an officer in the People’s Liberation Army, that show for the first time the frenzy and violence of the Cultural Revolution in Tibet. Found only after his death, Woeser’s annotations and reflections on the photographs, edited and introduced by the Tibet historian Robert Barnett, are based on scores of interviews she conducted privately in Tibet with survivors. Her book explores the motives and thinking of those who participated in the extraordinary rituals of public degradation and destruction that took place, carried out by Tibetans as much as Chinese on the former leaders of their culture. Heartbreaking and revelatory, Forbidden Memory offers a personal, literary discussion of the nature of memory, violence, and responsibility, while giving insight into the condition of a people whose violently truncated history they are still unable to discuss today.

Download or read book Forbidden Memories written by Sandra P. Riggin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in a Jacksonville, Florida setting, Sandra Riggin takes readers through a painful journey of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse that is far from anything sunny. These destructive seeds planted at an early age in the young Sandy reaped a harvest of addictions and eating disorders that ravaged her life. It was in her seemingly final hours on June 16, 1997, where Sandy lay on an emergency room gurney, virtually lifeless from a potentially lethal overdose of 180 muscle relaxants that she found the courage to live. In and out of consciousness, she decided it was time to put the demons of her past to sleep. On the brink of death she held on for dear life, reclaiming all that had been ripped from her over the years. The oldest of three siblings, Sandy struggled to protect her family from an abusive father, but she could never seem to shield herself from the manipulation of a distant and emotionally crippled mother who loved to play the victim behind closed doors, while outwardly faking the role of the loving parent. Yet it was her mother¡¦s love and affection she craved most, and dreamed of the day when she would be worthy of receiving it. It became her ultimate goal.Running and hiding became the norm for Sandy and her brothers. She recalls one night in particular when they ran, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Then their mother found an escape in having an affair with one of her professors. Gene appeared to be the man that would offer Sandy and her family a chance at stability, peace and happiness. But once her mother said, ¡§I do!¡ ̈ the kind, soft-spoken Gene unleashed a monster none of them could have imagined. His once fatherly expressions turned incestuous towards Sandy, and she would suffer by his hands for many, many years. As usual though, Sandy¡¦s mother closed her eyes and looked the other way, refusing to allow the obvious to jeopardize life with her new husband. Because of this Sandy ventured away from home, trying to find someone who would love her without hurting her. However this only led to her being molested, almost to the point of death, by several other people, including a neighbor and school teacher. As the years went by Sandy and her family would move from place to place never affording her the opportunity to plant any solid roots. She never felt like she belonged anywhere. Alienated from even herself, Sandy comes to the realization, ¡§I lost me a long time ago!¡ ̈ So, she went in search of herself, in all of the wrong places. Drugs and alcohol became the anesthesia she would use to numb the pain in hopes that her living nightmare would be eradicated. Not wanting to reveal the sordid family secrets, Sandy silenced her voice, but her desperation cried out in her addictions and suicide attempts. One botched suicide attempt after another landed her in a number of treatment centers. The healthcare professionals she came before continued to treat the surface problems, not recognizing her deep-seated cries for help. Sandy spiraled down a black hole of self-destruction that threatened to consume her. Her family and the system failed her, labeling Sandy as a troublemaker on the fast track to nowhere. Her efforts to lead a normal life were always overshadowed by her constant need for her mother¡¦s approval, and a need for life¡¦s basic necessity, love. Sandy had practically given up on love ever visiting her doorway, when suddenly her prince charming appears on a shiny motorcycle. Randy was the answer! With her arms wrapped tightly around his waist, they rode off into the sunset. She believed it was possible that he could whisk her away from all of her troubles and she hoped like hell it would be true. However her past was too unforgiving, and thus their marriage never stood a chance. Her sexual inhibitions derived from those dark, ugly secrets wouldn¡¦t let her go. Intimacy was non-existent, the weight was too much to communicate and the strain of everything caved in on their rocky union. Randy, unable to support Sandy in her condition lacked the emotional and spiritual strength she needed in a spouse, and Sandy could not be to Randy what she wasn¡¦t to herselfoa whole person. The confusion and failure of yet another failed relationship filled Sandy with fear and sent her in a direction she had never anticipated. As Sandy continued to go through the torrential ups and downs she still managed to maintain her education. She obtained a bachelors degree in psychology and a masters degree in counseling. Despite all of her accomplishments professionally the tortured Sandy could not free herself of the demons that were fast on her heals. Her recovery from one addiction only led her to other destructive patterns that made her believe the only way out of her living hell was to bring her turbulent life to an abrupt halt. Sandy became obsessed with creative ways to take her own life, but no matter how many times she tried she would wake up to find herself still alive. She begged God time and time again to let her go, but that was not to be her destiny. However, all she suffered was not to be in vain, as it was in the face of death that she found her reason to live.Convinced that she wouldn¡¦t survive another suicide attempt, Sandy spent the next three and a half years with a therapist embarking upon the beginning of her journey towards healing. This painful quest for healing and resolution gave birth to a tremendous story that must be told! As a result, Sandy spent five years writing, Forbidden Memories: A Journey of Healing, a chilling account of her torturous childhood and how she let it nearly destroy her as an adult. But most importantly it is the story of her recovery. She has outlined the insights she gained along the way that became her stepping-stones to freedom and happiness. Now she shares her story with the hope that other survivors of childhood abuse will not have to suffer in silence for as long as she did. Ultimately, finding the power in her choices, Sandy exposes the secrets that are intended to break the cycle of abuse and reveal the true strength of a spirit unwilling to be broken!Forbidden Memories: A Journey of Healing depicts her determination and resilience. This page turner will keep readers on their toes as they witness the transformation of a life and the grace of God at work.

Download or read book Mesoamerican Memory written by Stephanie Wood and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euro-Americans see the Spanish conquest as the main event in the five-century history of Mesoamerica, but the people who lived there before contact never gave up their own cultures. Both before and after conquest, indigenous scribes recorded their communities’ histories and belief systems, as well as the events of conquest and its effects and aftermath. Today, the descendants of those native historians in modern-day Mexico and Guatemala still remember their ancestors’ stories. In Mesoamerican Memory, volume editors Amos Megged and Stephanie Wood have gathered the latest scholarship from contributors around the world to compare these various memories and explore how they were preserved and altered over time. Rather than dividing Mesoamerica’s past into pre-contact, colonial, and modern periods, the essays in this volume emphasize continuity from the pre-conquest era to the present, underscoring the ongoing importance of indigenous texts in creating and preserving community identity, history, and memory. In addition to Nahua and Maya recollections, contributors examine the indigenous traditions of Mixtec, Zapotec, Tarascan, and Totonac peoples. Close analysis of pictorial and alphabetic manuscripts, and of social and religious rituals, yields insight into community history and memory, political relations, genealogy, ethnic identity, and portrayals of the Spanish invaders. Drawing on archaeology, art history, ethnology, ethnohistory, and linguistics, the essays consider the function of manuscripts and ritual in local, regional, and, now, national settings. Several scholars highlight direct connections between the collective memory of indigenous communities and the struggles of contemporary groups. Such modern documents as land titles, for example, gain legitimacy by referring to ancestral memory. Crossing disciplinary, methodological, and temporal boundaries, Mesoamerican Memory advances our understanding of collective memory in Mexico and Guatemala. Through diverse sources—pictorial and alphabetic, archaeological, archival, and ethnographic—readers gain a glimpse into indigenous remembrances that, without the research exhibited here, might have remained unknown to the outside world.
Download or read book Remembrance and Forgiveness written by Ajlina Karamehić-Muratović and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enquiry into the social science of remembrance and forgiveness in global episodes of genocide and mass violence during the post-Holocaust era, this volume explores the ways in which remembrance and forgiveness have changed over time and how they have been used in more recent cases of genocide and mass violence. With case studies from Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Sudan, South Africa, Australia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Israel, Palestine, Argentina, Guatemala, El Salvador, the United States, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Chechnya, the volume avoids a purely legal perspective to open the interpretation of post-genocidal societies, communities, and individuals to global and interdisciplinary perspectives that consider not only forgiveness and thus social harmony, but remembrance and disharmony. This volume will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in memory studies, genocide, remembrance, and forgiveness.
Download or read book Forbidden Memories written by Mery Kolimon and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forbidden Memories is the first book to consider the experiences of women survivors of the 1965 anti-communist violence in the majority Christian provinces in Eastern Indonesia. So far, most studies of the 1965 violence have focused on the Muslim majority population of Java and the Hindu majority population of Bali. Forbidden Memories presents stories - from across the regions of Sumba, Sabu, Alor, Kupang, and other parts of West Timor - of women who were imprisoned and tortured or whose husbands were murdered. The book is a critical examination of the role of the Protestant church at the time of the violence and in its aftermath, including ongoing sanctions and political purges against those considered to be supporters of the Indonesian Communist Party. Themes include the impact of the violence on women teachers, members of the women's organization Gerwani, and the fracturing of social and religious communities. It critiques the role of religious and state institutions for failing to care for this vulnerable community in the face of state terrorism and a culture of fear. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO (Series: Herb Feith Translation Series) [Subject: History, Asian Studies, Indonesian Studies, Women's Studies, Politics, Religious Studies]
Download or read book Popular Memories of the Mao Era written by Sebastian Veg and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume provides an overview of new forms of popular memory, in particular critical memory, of the Mao era. Focusing on the processes of private production, public dissemination, and social sanctioning of narratives of the past in contemporary China, it examines the relation between popular memories and their social construction as historical knowledge. The three parts of the book are devoted to the shifting boundary between private and public in the press and media, the reconfiguration of elite and popular discourses in cultural productions (film, visual art, and literature), and the emergence of new discourses of knowledge through innovative readings of unofficial sources. Popular memories pose a challenge to the existing historiography of the first thirty years of the People’s Republic of China. Despite the recent backlash, these more critical reflections are beginning to transform the mainstream narrative of the Mao era in China. Public discussions of key episodes in the history of the People’s Republic, in particular the Anti-Rightist Movement of 1957, the Great Famine of 1959–1961, and the Cultural Revolution, have proliferated in the last fifteen years. These discussions are qualitatively different from previous expressions of traumatic or nostalgic memories of Mao in the 1980s and the 1990s respectively. They reflect a growing dissatisfaction with the authoritarian control over history exercised by the Chinese state, and often they make use of the new spaces provided for counter-hegemonic narratives by social media and the growing private economy in the 2000s. Unofficial or independent journals, self-published books, social media groups, independent documentary films, private museums, oral history projects, and archival research by amateur historians, all of which analyzed in this collection, have contributed to these embryonic public or semi-public dialogues. “An excellent guide to the independent journalism, cultural production, and amateur histories that are transforming the mainstream narrative of the Mao era in China. Rich in detail and sound in analysis, these studies document the emergence of critical memory in Chinese society. A valuable resource for students and scholars.” —Timothy Cheek, University of British Columbia; author of The Intellectual in Modern Chinese History “Popular memories of the Mao era are signposts of contemporary politics and culture. This volume features exciting new research by distinguished scholars. Extremely rich and readable, the chapters in this collection illuminate both China’s past and present. A timely and important contribution.” —Guobin Yang, University of Pennsylvania; author of The Red Guard Generation and Political Activism in China

Download or read book Silences and Divided Memories written by Katja Hrobert Virloget and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Istrian Peninsula, which is made up of modern-day Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy suffered from the so-called "Istrian exodus" after the Second World War. This book looks at this difficult, silenced past and shifts the usual focus from migrants to those who stayed behind and to the new immigrants who came to the “emptied” towns.The research, based on individual memories, deals with silences and competing national discourses, reasons to stay and leave, hybrid border ethnic identities, and the renewal of Istrian society and its new social relations. It is a self-critical reflection on an ignored chapter of national history, which, with an empathetic approach, allows the silence to speak.
Download or read book Gender Resistance and Transnational Memories of Violent Conflicts written by Pauline Stoltz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the importance of gender and resistance to silences and denials concerning human rights abuses and historical injustices in narratives on transnational memories of three violent conflicts in Indonesia. Transnational memories of violent conflicts travel abroad with politicians, postcolonial migrants and refugees. Starting with the Japanese occupation of Indonesia (1942–1945), the war of independence (1945–1949) and the genocide of 1965, the volume analyses narratives in Dutch and Indonesian novels in relation to social and political narratives (1942–2015). By focusing on gender and resistance from both Indonesian and Dutch, transnational and global perspectives, the author provides new perspectives on memories of the conflicts that are relevant to research on transitional justice and memory politics.
Download or read book Fragmented Memories and Screening Nostalgia for the Cultural Revolution written by Jing Meng and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fragmented Memories and Screening Nostalgia for the Cultural Revolution argues that films and TV dramas about the Cultural Revolution made after China’s accession to the WTO in 2001 tend to represent personal memories in a markedly sentimental, nostalgic, and fragmented manner. This new trend is a significant departure from earlier films about the subject, which are generally interpreted as national allegories, not private expressions of grief, regret or other personal feelings. With China entering a postsocialist era, the ideological conflation of socialism and global capitalism has generated enough cultural ambiguity to allow a space for the expression of personalized reminiscences of the past. By presenting these personal memories—in effect alternative narratives to official history—on screen, individuals now seem to have some agency in narrating and constructing history. At the same time such autonomy can be easily undermined since the promotion of the sentiment of nostalgia is often subjected to commodification. Sentimental treatments of the past may simply be a marketing strategy. Underplaying political issues is also a ‘safer’ way for films and TV dramas to secure public release in mainland China. Meng concludes that the new mode of representing the past is shaped by the current sociopolitical conditions: these personal memories and micro-narratives can be understood as the defining ways of remembering in China’s postsocialist era. ‘Fragmented Memories and Screening Nostalgia for the Cultural Revolution takes a comprehensive look at contemporary screen depictions of the Cultural Revolution. The book convincingly ties close readings of the works analysed with broader social and cultural phenomena that already are hot topics of study and debate, offering something original while also being closely engaged with existing scholarship.’ —Jason McGrath, University of Minnesota ‘Breaking through the tired dichotomy between personal and collective narratives, individual memory and grand history, this refreshing book sheds much light on film memories of the Cultural Revolution in the post-socialist millennium. In a limpid and engaging style, Jing Meng probes memory’s nostalgia and imbrication with the collective destiny, and critiques the personal focus aligned with neoliberal economy and commodification.’ —Ban Wang, Stanford University
Download or read book The Human Sausage Factory written by Eda Kalmre and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013-08-10 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under certain conditions, some rumours, which were established as part of folklore already long ago, may become fixed in the memory and the subconscious of several generations. This is what happened with the rumour about a human sausage factory after the Second World War. In Tartu, Estonia, this rumour obtained a symbolic meaning and power due to the politics of the totalitarian Soviet regime. The memories of the post-war period are still vivid in the collective mind, and the onetime rumour of sausage factories incorporates the population’s tensions, pain, loss, choices, defiance and irreconcilability. The individual and community emotions that are brought to a focus in this discourse are an indicator of defining social boundaries and behaviour, of ‘us’ and ‘them’. When describing the events that took place in Tartu, folklore becomes a powerful tool with which to construe the meaning of the era at the social level. Through documents, photos and people’s memories, the book offers an insight into the city of Tartu after the Second World War and reveals the several layers of meaning represented by rumour in this period.
