Description
Essay
The first half of this course has engaged with various questions and discussions around how we narrate history and memory, and how this relates to commemorating the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We have considered how official, public, and communal positions towards those cities can align or differ, and how the changing historical contexts in which they are remembered can impact them as well. Thinking through these dynamics, compose an argument responding to the question: what does it mean to “remember” Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
How do national and temporal frames (periodization) impact the ways that “Hiroshima and Nagasaki” are narrated in various histories, memories, and contexts?
How do “memories” of “Hiroshima and Nagasaki” relate to or interact with the “history/histories” of those two cities?
What is at stake, and for whom, in the ways those memories and histories can be narrated?
