Contre-mémoire and fröhliche Wissenschaft

A new title for the blog, but one which, I think, revalues the old: countermemory. Revalued, that is, if you consider it precisely as Foucault's translation of fröhliche Wissenschaft.
Wissenschaft, which my colleague, friend, and overall genius Sand Avidar-Walzer has proposed, quite rightly I think in many respects (I only say "many" and not "all" only because the term is designed, like so much in Nietzsche, to escape nevertheless into many other valences--an aspect which I think Sand's choice actually is designed to capture), be translated as "inquiry"--Wissenschaft is precisely the practice (which the term "inquiry" brings out excellently--I have become more and more fond of this translation!) of internalizing-memory, or Errinerung, not only according to Hegel, but to many many others in the history of philosophy. This internalization is a process of self-development, of regulation as control or repression, of exposure to the determinate negative, of the resistance to memory by the taking up of memory--not by any hypermnemic devices or activities but by the synthesis of these hypermnemic devices into natural, organic, biological memory (that is, by effacing the difference between them)--that is, by the process of domesticating and making amenable to internalization the development of one's own thought, activities, etc. At the limit of this--which we find in Heidegger, who thereby opens up the revolutionary potential of formulating things otherwise via Nietzsche--it is the modification of the historicity of this process of internalization by reducing (under the guise of an expansion) its alterity.
This memory constitutes, at this limit, an enormous effort to--in Nietzsche's own words (Die fröhliche Wissenschaft, IV, 327)--"take things seriously:" more literally, to perceive them, to internalize them (nehmen) with respect to their alterity. The opposite task or possibility is therefore the practice of fröliche Wissenschaft: the exposure to alterity by an indifference (i.e. the development of the difference between the hypermnemic and the mnemic, the technical and the biological) to internalization--that is, joyously. Insofar as this task takes a more practical form of an overturning or forgetting of tradition so as to attain this exposure, it is therefore, within the task of constituting genealogy, contre-mémoire, countermemory. Nietzsche's task, as you can see, is therefore amazing and immense. But perhaps an understanding of it can only begin by establishing (with Foucault, who coins the term) this semantic transit.
