Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism (review)

Although the chapters that appear in this book have been previously published separately in different places at different
times, they have been revised by the author for their publication as a book and are all related to the problem of
historical representation. By putting together essays on Droysen, Foucault, Jameson and Ricoeur, Hayden White hasmanaged to give an encompassing account of a problematic issue that has been one of the major concerns of
historical studies as well as of many other areas of the human sciences: that of the importance of narrative representation in the description or explanation of the “object” of study of
the human sciences. Although the authors mentioned deal with this subject in different ways, White finds in them
common characteristics which confirm the point made by him that historical narratives are, from a semiological
perspective, concerned with the production of meanings.

The content of the Form: narrative discourse and historical representation

Memory is often embodied in objects--memorials, texts, talismans, images. Though one could argue that such artifacts operate to prompt remembrance, they are often perceived actually to contain memory within them or indeed to be synonymous with memory. No object is more equated with memory than the camera image, in particular the photograph. Memory appears to reside within the photographic image, to tell its story in response to our gaze.

Remembering to Forget: Holocaust Memory through the Camera's Eye

This study provides a narrative analysis of documentaries on the History Channel that treat historical episodes as possible conspiracies. The analysis approaches these programs in terms of ritual, collective memory, and narrative theory. Conspiracy programs present unresolved historical episodes in which conflicting interpretations vie for dominance. It is argued that the content and structure of these programs, as well as the way they promote narrative ambiguity, provide a window into the construction of historical reality. In doing so, the programs act as a ritual cessation of the assumptions that govern predominant modes of thinking about history. Linear, conclusive narratives give way to timeless, figural open-endedness. As part of a larger genre of conspiracy texts, these programs may be emblematic of a perceived fiat of powerful groups to transgress the moral and logical bounds that structure everyday reality.
