Irving R. Epstein
In this presentation, I reference a chapter, that is taken from my newly published book, Affect Theory and Comparative Education Discourse: Essays on Fear and Loathing in Response to Global Educational Policy and Practice (Bloomsbury Academic, 2019). I argue that when schools fail to address issues of social memory or basic existential questions involved in the pursuit of meaning-making for the purposes of understanding human rights issues, popular support evolves for other institutions to fill the void. Through examining the case of Chile, efforts to memorialize victims of the Pinochet dictatorship occur in the absence of robust initiatives to address these questions as part of the formal knowledge schools transmit. The writings of Agamben and Baudrillard are noted as they offer perspectives regarding the limitations of memorialization. In Agamben’s case, he notes the power of the state to determine not only what constitutes citizenship but whose lives the state deems worthy of recognizing. In Baudrillard’s writings, he critiques the impossibility of coming to terms with the horrors of the past, viewing symbols of memorialization as insufficient attempts to comprehend their significance. Afterwards, I apply their insights to a discussion of a number of Chilean memorials, which are described and analyzed. In spite of their many limitations, I argue that their presence signifies a lack of trust in the formal schooling process to address these questions and the fear that absent their existence, there would be no attempt to address the issues of collective identity that social memory presents. The repercussions of this case study for engagement in human rights discourse are clear. On the one hand, acts of memorialization must contend with negative pressures that commodify social memory and treat efforts to evoke understandings of mass atrocity as globalized objects that are widely circulated, exchanged, and consumed in ways that can become superficial and superfluous. On the other hand, one cannot assume that public schools will naturally promote such discourse, because of their role as agencies that serve to protect the legitimacy of the state and the concerted efforts to limit their role in the service of the public good, given neo-liberal pressures that have become broadly globalized.
