Forgetful Remembrance examines the paradoxes of what actually
happens when communities persistently endeavour to forget
inconvenient events. The question of how a society attempts to
obscure problematic historical episodes is addressed through a
detailed case study grounded in the north-eastern counties of the
Irish province of Ulster, where loyalist and unionist Protestants -
and in particular Presbyterians - repeatedly tried to repress over
two centuries discomfiting recollections of participation,
alongside Catholics, in a republican rebellion in 1798. By
exploring a rich variety of sources, Beiner makes it possible to
closely follow the dynamics of social forgetting. His particular
focus on vernacular historiography, rarely noted in official
histories, reveals the tensions between professed oblivion in
public and more subtle rituals of remembrance that facilitated
muted traditions of forgetful remembrance, which were masked by a
local culture of reticence and silencing. Throughout Forgetful
Remembrance, comparative references demonstrate the wider relevance
of the study of social forgetting in Northern Ireland to numerous
other cases where troublesome memories have been concealed behind a
veil of supposed oblivion.
