Dutch commentators have frequently claimed that the colonial past and especially the violence associated with it has been 'forgotten' in the Netherlands. Uncovering 'lost' photographs and other documents of violence has thereby become a recurring feature aimed at unmasking a hidden truth. The author argues that, rather than absent, such images have been consistently present in the Dutch public sphere and have been widely available in print, on television and now on the internet. Emerging Memory: Photographs of Colonial Atrocity in Dutch Cultural Remembrance shows that between memory and forgetting there is a haunted zone from which pasts that do not fit the stories nations live by keep on emerging and submerging while retaining their disturbing presence. 2020-03-27 15:48:21 2020-04-01T13:07:15Z 2018-02-20 23:55 2020-03-27 15:48:21 2020-04-01T13:07:15Z 2018-01-01 23:55:55 2020-03-27 15:48:21 2020-04-01T13:07:15Z 2020-04-01T13:07:15Z 2016-03-01 book 644201 OCN: 1030821187 9789048522019 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/30680 eng Heritage and Memory Studies application/pdf n/a 644201.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789089645906 101341 10.5117/9789089645906 dd3d1a33-0ac2-4cfe-a101-355ae1bd857a b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 da087c60-8432-4f58-b2dd-747fc1a60025 9789048522019 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Dutch Research Council (NWO) Amsterdam 101341 KU Select 2017: Backlist Collection Knowledge Unlatched Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research open access
