Book Description
Excerpt from The Land of Forgetfulness [The Pied Piper and children are seen in the distance. The Piper plays and the children come trooping after him singing and laughing. They come onto the stage. A German folk-dance may be used here, if desired. The Piper remains in the background watching the children, a smile on his lips. When the dance is ended, he comes forward, breaking into their midst.] Piper. Enough, enough! Break off and rest awhile! The way was long for all your little feet. But not one of you thought of weariness - 'Twas happiness and joy that filled your heads. Now thanks, my pipe, for what thou'st done today. Thou canst at my command bring mirth to some, To others, sorrow. Bertha. Master Piper man! Piper. Ay, what wouldst thou? Bertha. As through this wood we came, I looked around me, for the pretty flowers And trees just seemed to smile and nod at me. And so I looked about, and there I saw - Guess what! Piper. Oh, tell me, I could never guess. Fritz. Yes, tell us quick for I saw something, too. Gretchen. And so did I! Hedwig. And I! Walther. And I did, too! Bertha. A tiny little man, all dressed in brown! Fritz. A fat and jolly, rosy, little man! [Children all nod and agree.] About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Public Forgetting
Author: Bradford Vivian
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271075007
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Forgetting is usually juxtaposed with memory as its opposite in a negative way: it is seen as the loss of the ability to remember, or, ironically, as the inevitable process of distortion or dissolution that accompanies attempts to commemorate the past. The civic emphasis on the crucial importance of preserving lessons from the past to prevent us from repeating mistakes that led to violence and injustice, invoked most poignantly in the call of “Never again” from Holocaust survivors, tends to promote a view of forgetting as verging on sin or irresponsibility. In this book, Bradford Vivian hopes to put a much more positive spin on forgetting by elucidating its constitutive role in the formation and transformation of public memory. Using examples ranging from classical rhetoric to contemporary crises like 9/11, Public Forgetting demonstrates how, contrary to conventional wisdom, communities may adopt idioms of forgetting in order to create new and beneficial standards of public judgment concerning the lessons and responsibilities of their shared past.
