This book reconstructs how claims to know 'the lessons' from past
wrongdoings are made useful in the present. These claims are
powerful tools in contemporary debates over who we are, who we want
to be and what we should do. Drawing on a wide range of spoken and
written texts from Austria, Denmark, Germany and the United States,
this book proposes an abstract framework through which such claims
can be understood. 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. Drawing extensively
on narrative theory, Lessons from the Past? reconstructs how links
between past, present and future can be narrativised, thus helping
to understand the subjectivities and feelings that these stories
facilitate. The book closes by considering if and how such
rhetorics might live up to their promise to know 'the lessons' and
to enable learning, offering a revised theory of collective
learning processes.
