Krátky popis
Summoning Pearl Harbor is a mesmerizing display of linguistic force
that redefines remembering. How do words make the past appear? In
what way does the historian summon bygone events? What is this kind
of remembering, and for whom do we recall the dead, or the past? In
this highly original meditation on the past, renowned art historian
Alexander Nemerov delves into what it means to recall a significant
event? Pearl Harbor?and how descriptions of images can summon it
back to life. Beginning with the photo album of a former Japanese
kamikaze pilot, which is reproduced in this volume, Nemerov
transports the reader into a different world through his engagement
with the photographs and the construction of a narrative around
them. Through its lyrical prose, Summoning Pearl Harbor expands
what we traditionally associate with ekphrastic writing. The kind
of writing that can enliven a work of art is also the kind of
writing that makes the past appear in vivid color and deep feeling.
In the end, this timely piece of writing opens onto fundamental
questions about how we communicate with each other, and how the
past continues to live in our collective consciousness, not merely
as facts but as stories that shape us. Here, Nemerov’s constant
awareness of the power of language to make an experience?seen or
remembered? become real reminds us that great ekphrastic writing is
at the heart of every effective description.
