“…Majoritarian narratives must be broken up and opened up through the construction of what Barthes (1977) terms ‘counter-narratives’. Similar to Barthes, Rowlinson and Carter (2002, p. 524) refer to the Foucauldian notion counter-memory, and for them, counter-memory becomes ‘a way of explicating the possibilities of the present’; it emerges, in Godfrey and Lilley’s (2009, p. 279) phrasing, as ‘a force against dominant representations of the past. Counter-memories are the memories of the marginalized, the repressed, the unheard.’ As Colwell (1997) argues, such minoritarian memory is realized through the re-composition of the same elements that comprise the verkitsched , majoritarian history, but are now repeated and arranged in a different manner, juxtaposed as it were, in new ways so as to witness (see also Borgerson, 2010).…”
