In “Absent Images of Memory: Remembering and Reenacting the Japense Internment”, Sturken states that “cultural memory is always being rescripted, just as personal memories are constantly recrafted and rethought” (16). What is the inherent problem with collective cultural memory? Is it possible to have a collective memory that is not subjective?
What role does the media play in national atonement, and is there a favorable way to memorialize the camps of Manzanar, Poston, Tule Lake, Topaz, Minidoka, Heart Mountain, Jerome, Gila River, Amache, and Rohwer?
Do you believe that the journalists who fabricated ideas that Japanese-Americans were a threat to national security, which then caused local and state lawmakers to attack these groups, could still happen today? Is there a way to fix these issues in misinformed media?
