Roger F. Malina and Thomas Kubli
The term “disremembering” entered my thinking upon the death of a colleague Richard Brettell. He was a ‘refugee’ to UT Dallas when he lost his job at the Dallas Museum of Art.
He was one of the people who helped convince Roger Malina to move to Dallas from the south of France, an un-regrettable decision. He re-inventured him.
I searched him online and found the Wikipedia entry above. But I also found this:
Wow… the more factual account is this.
I have never shared this dismemory with anyone else on the planet, But Fred Turner did in a meeting with Robert Stern and Roger discussing the emergence of the arts and humanities at UT Dallas.
Bretell was instrumental in the most important dismemory that triggered my interest in disremembering as a desirable activity. Forgetting intentionally or accidentally or remembering anyway.
