Affective intentionality refers to the evaluative world-orientation of emotions, their capacity to disclose the world in light of specific concerns. The key point of the concept is that the intentional evaluation of objects, persons and events is intrinsically linked to their affective import...

The politics of memory and national identity
While Hobsbawm and Smith are right to emphasise the importance of the past for national identity, the way in which a nation remembers its past is more complex and ambiguous than their statements may suggest. In fact, the collective memory and the past of a nation are fundamentally different concepts....

Re-imagining Cultural Criminology: Memory, Museums and Narrative
Cultural criminology has—for some time now—argued that ‘the visual’ is an important aspect when addressing cultural dimensions of the crime complex (see, for example, Ferrell and Van de Voorde 2010 ; Hayward 2010; Hayward and Young 2007). Yet alongside the visual there has also been something...

Contrapuntal memories inside the 9/11 Memorial Museum

Clinical Psychoanalytical Research and the Functions of Psyche and the Brain: Human Interaction, Affects, Memories and Trauma in the Transference Relationship to the Analyst
In what follows I concentrate on aspects of clinical findings that might enrich an embodied or neuroscientific understanding of memory. My central claim is that Ms. M. does not enact a stored, unconscious memory of traumatic experiences with her primary object in the transference of a 'statically stored,...

How did the Spanish viceroys shape Mexico’s political heritage in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries?
When Spain sent expeditions to what is today Mexico and conquered the indigenous populations, it needed to create a structure of governance for its colonies in North and South America. The Spanish Crown, through a Council of the Indies, created a system based in part on its reconquest of Spain from the...

Conflict and Politics of Reconciliation Through Heritage
History is the raw material for nationalist or ethnic or fundamentalist ideologies, as poppies are the raw material for heroin addiction. [...] If there is no suitable past, it can always be invented. The past legitimizes. The past gives a more glorious background to a present that doesn't...
