Victoria Bishop Kendzia

Visitors to the House of Memory

Identity and Political Education at the Jewish Museum Berlin

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It is deeply personal with the role of the researcher transparent and reflected throughout. It is pragmatic and takes a practice-oriented view of memory and memorialization. It accompanies the participants over time in and outside of the primary research site. The researcher lives the culture of memory as much as she studies it, so the larger context is evoked, when it is helpful in understanding the specific material. The knowledge is thus embodied knowledge.
