Summary

Jolanta A. Drzewiecka advances a psychoanalytic discursive approach to the analysis of public memories of the Other. This includes an overview of memory studies in communication, an introduction to key concepts of Lacanian psychoanalysis and a discussion of a psychoanalytic approach examining representations of violence committed against Jews by gentiles in Poland and its implications for engaging knowledge and critical learning.
