Concentrationary Memories : Totalitarian Terror and Cultural Resistance
Concentrationary Memories has, as its premise, the idea at the heart of Alain Resnais's film Night and Fog (1955) that the concentrationary plague unleashed on the world by the Nazis in the 1930s and 1940s is not simply confined to one place and one time but is now a permanent presence shadowing modern life.It further suggests that memory (and, indeed, art in general) must be invoked to show this haunting of the present by this menacing past so that we can read for the signs of terror and counter its deformation of the human.Through working with political and cultural theory on readings of film, art, photographic and literary practices, Concentrationary Memories analyses different cultural responses to concentrationary terror in different sites in the post-war period, ranging from Auschwitz to Argentina.These readings show how those involved in the cultural production of memories of the horror of totalitarianism sought to find forms, languages and image systems which could make sense of and resist the post-war condition in which, as Hannah Arendt famously stated 'everything is possible' and 'human beings as human beings become superfluous.' Authors include Nicholas Chare, Isabelle de le Court, Thomas Elsaesser, Benjamin Hannavy Cousen, Matthew John, Claire Launchbury, Sylvie Lindeperg, Laura Malosetti Costa, Griselda Pollock, Max Silverman, Glenn Sujo, Annette Wieviorka and John Wolfe Ackerman.

Can memories be restored?
Memories cannot be fully restored in the same way that a computer file can be recovered. However, research has shown that memories can be strengthened or reactivated through techniques such as memory recall, repetition, and association. Additionally, advancements in neuroscience have shown that memories are not fixed and can be modified or reconsolidated over time. While complete restoration of lost memories may not be possible, there are ways to improve memory function and potentially enhance the recollection of past experiences.
-
Can memories be reactivated?
Yes, memories can be reactivated through a process called memory retrieval. When a memory is formed, it creates connections between different neurons in the brain. These connections can be reactivated through various cues, such as sights, sounds, or emotions, which can trigger the recall of the associated memory. Additionally, research has shown that memories can be reactivated and even modified through techniques such as memory reconsolidation, where the act of recalling a memory can make it susceptible to change or updating.

Could genetic memories exist?
Genetic memories, also known as ancestral or inherited memories, are a concept that suggests that memories or experiences of our ancestors could be passed down through our genes. While there is some evidence to suggest that certain experiences can have an impact on gene expression and behavior in future generations, the idea of direct transmission of specific memories is not supported by scientific evidence. Memories are complex and involve the brain's intricate neural networks, which are not encoded in our DNA. Therefore, the existence of genetic memories as commonly understood is not supported by current scientific understanding.

What are olfactory memories?
Olfactory memories are memories that are triggered by smells. When we encounter a particular scent, it can evoke strong memories and emotions associated with that smell. This is because the olfactory system is closely linked to the brain's limbic system, which is responsible for emotions and memory. Olfactory memories can be very powerful and can transport us back to specific moments or places from our past.
