On the Social Distribution of Soldiers’ Memories: Normalization, Trauma, and Morality

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter aims to address the interrelationship between personal and
national recollections of war as reflected by the memories of different
generations of combatants among Israeli society. This multi-generational
observation offers the analysis a dynamic dimension and enables us to
learn of how the interrelationship between personal and national memory
changes in different historical-cultural contexts, and in accordance with the
nature of the fighting. More particularly, the chapter aims to explore the
cultural discourses that shape the field of memory within which the subjects
remembering operate. That is, to identify the different discourses that grant
meaning to the combat experience, track their changes over time, examine
their interplay, and situate the mode through which they shape personal
memories and are shaped by them.
