Forgetting Futures reignites the debate about the crisis of memory
and the search to understand the relationship between past and
present, remembering and forgetting. In the book Petar Ramadanovic
presents an elegant critique of the most significant concepts of
memory, from Plato to Nietzsche, as he challenges the prevalent,
Aristotelain understanding of memory as mere repeated presentation
of the past in the present. Ramadanovic skillfully examines the
power of traumatic memory in history. Through an analysis of Cathy
Caruth and a ground breaking revisionist interpretation of Toni
Morrison's Beloved he shows how the memory of the Holocaust and
slavery has shaped American identity. This unique study of memory
places trauma, identity, and race under the intellectual microscope
resulting in a book of great use for literary and cultural studies
scholars, and educated readers seeking to learn more about the
relationship between history and memory.
