Collective memory and the museum: Towards a reconciliation of philosophy, history and memory in Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum

Abstract

Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing. - Luis Bunuel, My Last Sigh (1983, 4-5). © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
