Silence and Collective Memory
 

This project examines the relationship between silence, memory, and forgetting. The first paper develops a theoretical framework drawing on data collected by Vered Vinitzky-Seroussi on the memory of Yizhak Rabin's assassination. The second paper extends the framwork to other cases.
