How Societies Remember Atrocity | Memory, Repair, and Cultural Survival | EP48

This episode asks a difficult but necessary question: how do societies remember atrocity — and what happens when they don’t? Using archaeological, anthropological, and sociological perspectives, this episode explores how cultures process collective harm across time, and what memory, repair, and prevention can look like across generations. We look at what the archaeological record reveals about memory and repair, what hunter-gatherer societies can teach us about accountability and healing, and why some societies choose to remember while others choose to forget. This episode also explores: • how societies manage collective memory • what happens when historical memory becomes divided • how future generations inherit unresolved harm • why sanitized or mythologized histories persist • what meaningful repair can (and cannot) accomplish • how we build cultural “antibodies” that help prevent future atrocities Two modern case studies examine how asymmetrical or contested memory shapes the present and future. Atrocity does not begin with violence. It begins with stories, systems, and what a culture chooses to remember — or ignore. Understanding how societies process harm is one of the most important tools we have for preventing it. Thank you for being here for this difficult but important conversation.
