Animated documentary and the scene of death: Experiencing Waltz with Bashir

Publisher: Duke University Press

Date: 10-2011

DOI: 10.1215/00382876-1382339

Abstract: When brought together in the animated documentary, animation with its tradition of comic storytelling and gothic graphic fiction and the documentary film with its tradition of “realism” create new possibilities for understanding the relationship between spectatorship and memory. In this form memory and reality are volatile and changeable, yet believable. In the Israeli film Waltzwith Bashir (dir. Ari Folman, 2008), the animated form of the bulk of the film is ultimately juxtaposed with television footage and still shots of the massacre within the Sabra and Shatila refugee c s. The film's final sequence of live footage, some of which would have appeared on most of our television screens across the world, makes of those passing seconds a death scene. As a “death scene” we see again but really for the first time the horror and the miracle of survival. The preceding animation with its intertwining flows of dreams and reality not only interrogates but enacts how memory can be seen.

Natural histories of home

Publisher: Duke University Press

Date: 2009

DOI: 10.1215/00382876-2008-020

Abstract: Does “possession” produce “home”? This essay figures the claim by Captain Cook to possess Australia as an attempt to institute a single order of time and nature. But that order was and is always undercut by the reality of an enduring indigenous sovereignty. Through ideas of memory, nature, and experience, this paper proposes a different order of home making that can exist alongside indigenous sovereignty. The idea of homemaking for the nonindigenous suggested in this essay involves a recognition of productive melancholia and attempts to release the differences obscured by colonial orders of time and ways of seeing nature. This alternative notion of home recognizes the ongoing force of multiple indigenous cultures that dictated that we will encounter that particular nature and that already imaged imagining amid colonizing and nationalizing practices that include the making of national parks and the management of museum displays.

Memory and materiality

Publisher: SAGE Publications

Date: 28-06-2013

DOI: 10.1177/1750698013482864

Abstract: This article explores the idea of memory effects, that is, memory and materiality as intertwined producers of something we can call memory effects. This article argues that memory is an ‘effect’ produced through and with materiality, rather than something only produced by a human-centred consciousness. Through an exploration of the scale of memory in the shapes of a tiny Captain Cook painted on a matchbox and a giant Captain Cook, which stands as ‘Big Cook’ in Cairns in northern Queensland (Australia), new paths of perception and connection that may better account for the circulations and translations of memory are established. To think of memory as having a scale is to see memory as always simultaneously physical and temporal. These are memory effects. To think memory as memory effects is to give memory a key place not just in orders of concatenating events that we may over-determine as ‘national’ but as an order of perception given to us by the things themselves.
