- This 246-page monograph, equivalent in length to five journal articles, provides a contribution to memory studies and sociological theory. It develops an analytical framework by conceptualizing four ideal-typical ‘claims to have learned the lessons from the past’, which position self and other based on qualitative analyses of discourses about the Iraq War in 14 newspapers (published throughout 2003) and Holocaust commemorative event speeches (2000 -2010) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and the US. Second, it identifies four narrative archetypes underlying these claims as mechanisms which enable/block collective learning, constituting a significant theoretical advance to Habermas’ theory of collective learning.
