While the dominant mode of representation consists of straightforwardly reminding people of past traumas, a strategy that can easily be weaponized for a political agenda and is still harder to experience authentically, a new generation of monuments takes different approach: instead of relying on historical context and an a priori knowledge, it mediates the experience of pain as such. |
