Remembering Together

Abstract

Opening part 3 of the book, This chapter returns to discussions anticipated in chapters 2 and 5: to questions pertaining to witnessing, remembering and forgetting. I ask what forms of knowledge—including knowledge on peace—photojournalists and citizen photographers produce. In order to answer this question, I engage with Avishai Margalit’s writings on political and moral witnesses and argue for a non-hierarchical approach to collective memories, accepting different memories as equally valuable in terms of knowledge production. This does not include moral equivalence.
