Abstract
Memory’s Exiles
In their dialogue “Memory’s Exiles,” Joseph Rosen and Hanadi Loubani investigate the personal and political stakes of remembering violence and catastrophe in the context of Palestinian and Jewish Diasporas. The point of their dialogue is to contest the “normalizing processes of forgetting,” which they conceive of as a nostalgic memory. In opposition to this culturally and nationalistically narrated nostalgia, they try to present an instance of an enabling “forgetting” as a diasporic mode of memory that opens to the memory of the other’s memory of violence.
