Mitch Hedberg - Emergency Brake

cf. Walter Benjamin:

“Marx said that revolutions are the locomotive of world history. But perhaps things are very different. It may be that revolutions are the act by which the human race travelling in the train applies the emergency brake.”

Fassin speaks of the past as existing in two dimensions. On the one hand, there is the past of the historians: objectified, distanced, depending on documents, archives, artefacts. On the other hand, memories of individuals, which are subjective, and in which what is repressed and unsaid is also significant. These two overlapping representations can sometimes compete, for they are founded on different schemes of truth-telling. Like a psychoanalyst, the ethnographer is in dialogue with the living, yet he has no access to their interiority: his job is to objectify, like a historian. He is shot through with the terror of interpretation, and he is alive to all the unconscious prejudices that shape what can be heard; yet if he does not interpret, his material becomes simply exotica, to be placed in a cabinet of curiosities.
