{"product_id":"9781932698411","title":"Cabinet 42: Forgetting","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcross fields as disparate as historiography, psychiatry and anthropology, remembering was long considered primary and forgetting simply a malfunction of recall. But after figures such as Nietzsche and Freud, the act of forgetting has undergone a wholesale reevaluation; for many modern thinkers, active forgetting is the precondition for living. \u003ci\u003eCabinet\u003c\/i\u003e issue 42 features Jennifer J. Almontez on Greek orators' mnemonic system of creating vast “memory palaces”; Chip Chapman on forgetting and the creation of national myths; Sophia Hall on animal memory and obedience training methods; an interview with Jean-Yves Le Naour on the story of Anthelme Mangin, France's best-known WWI amnesiac; and a portfolio featuring artist-designed monuments to forgetting. Elsewhere in the issue: Brigid Doherty on British analyst Wilfred Bion's notation for the unknown; Allen S. Weiss on the dance macabre; Erica Owen on the relationship between nineteenth-century racial theories and the creation of the modern valuation system for “precious” and “semi-precious” stones; and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cabinet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040305692912,"sku":"9781932698411","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781932698411_p0.jpg?v=1763639324","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781932698411","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
